Maybe you should explain a little more why we should click on a link and how it helps you in the Quest. As a network security professional, I for one do not click on links that I do not know where they end up. Too many bad things are out there.

This may be legit but you're asking a lot from a group who has no knowledge of who you are or what your intentions are? I'm with Gary. I get requests like this all the time and I just delete them.

Amanda- you may want to read the fine print of the contest rules, as well as what is and isn't covered. For example: an overnight hospital stay isn't covered. I know some people who've had lap abnd as a same day procedure and others who have stayed overnight. Given all of your other medical issues going on the likelyhood of having to stay over night increases. Also- complications aren't covered by the contest. Will your insurance cover complications?

Why won't your insurance cover the procedure? I watched your video and your husband was in uniform. I personally know 3 military wives who have had bariatric surgery of one sort or another. And another one who had a breast reduction that was medically needed- and her husband's insurance covered it.

When I had surgery a few years ago it was private insurance and I didn't meet their requirements as it was you had to be over a BMI of 35 for 5 years and I had only been over that for 4 years. I wasn't willing to wait yet another year and have my BMI creep up even further.

Your video also doesn't say how much you weigh, how tall you are, your BMI, etc

So, this seems a little shady. Upon some further research on your FB page you're linked to yourself: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.wiggins.5832/about And it looks like your avatar here. While the FB video you made doesn't.

If you're really just looking for a free surgery and people to vote for you who don't even know you, well good luck with that.

People here have had surgery, or are having it, worked hard to get here and have needed it.

Getting off my soapbox now.

Wow, again such negativity. Why? Why would someone say something hateful instead of just moving on?

Leena' date=' I will ask you here then...why are you being so negative and just plain mean? If you don't want to help me that is fine, move around, don't say anything.[/quote']

Thanks for the words of encouragement from some. I will delete my posts once I get home, can't figure it out now.

      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?
