Hi everyone!

Introducing myself since I just had my consultation on Wednesday and am officially on the road to getting sleeved. I toyed around with the idea of Lap Band two years ago, but never did it. It wasn't right for me and I'm so glad I didn't do it.

I'm a blogger and I've been writing about my journey to a healthy life for just over two years. I wrote in detail about my consultation on my blog, so feel free to click here and check it out.

My psych eval is scheduled for next Friday and then they can submit my paperwork to my insurance. I'm hoping to be sleeved the week before Thanksgiving. Let's get this show on the road!

Thank you to all of you who post about your experiences. This is still fairly new and scary for me (but exciting as well) and it helps so much to read your stories. I'm so glad I found this group!

Hey there HMPrincess,

I am in the pre-stages too. I had my psych eval, dietician and PA visit..just waiting for the review committee to do their thing! I am looking for a late December/early January date if possible. I keep thinking about the word, "change" from your blog. Why is that so hard? Obviously what I've been doing isn't getting me anywhere near my goal, so why not embrace it? Maybe I should not just change eating habits, but other things too? Get out of my comfort zone and shake things up a bit! Well, good luck on your journey :)

      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?
