I found out I had sleep apnea 4 weeks before surgery. Had a meeting with the doc to discuss what type of machine I wanted. Had to go to a home medical appointment and pick up c pap machine. Had to take the cpap with me on surgery day. No big deal. They said there was a 60% chance I wont need the machine after my weight loss. I am really hoping some day i wont need it anymore!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
