Betsy, be proactive, check with your insurance and your surgeon's office and start working on any requirements now... supervised diet is the biggie! I was required to do a 6 month supervised diet and got 5 months of it taken care of before I ever stepped foot into the surgeon's office. Surgery date was exactly 2 months from my initial consultation.

I've found that in all my healthcare needs, the more proactive and involved you are... the better results and more satisfied you are. So take charge!!

      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.
