I went to my PCP today and she was wonderful! She submitted the referral to the surgeon so I can start the process with the surgeons office. I am so excited. The ball has finally started rolling!!

I got my referral from Tricare, but it had another surgeon's office listed than what I asked for so I have to go to another seminar. I'm not sure why Tricare changed who I requested, but it's all good because I researched the surgeon and he is one of the best in the country. I go to the seminar tomorrow with my hubby and hopefully I will be able to get the appointment with the doctor soon afterward.

Has anyone else experienced their insurance company changing who they requested? Just curious.

Hi. I got to chose who and where I'm getting mine done. I have about 6 months. I'm figuring march or April 2014. I can't wait. I'm already prepared. I wish time would move faster.

I got my referral today, I am hoping because I am having issues with my glucose levels and am gaining weight due to the increased insulin needs that my insurance will allow for a shorter time frame. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired I can't stand it.

      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?
