I am a wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, nurse and dog owner. Not necessarily in that order. It seems like my whole life has been happiest when caring for others. Somewhere along the line, I forgot to care about me too. So, now I am doing something just for me!

I am soooo excited. I would have left my conversation wih my surgeon and gone straight into surgery that day if it had been an option. Unfortunately, my insurance company inserted several hoops in my path between now and my gastric sleeve. I am truly hoping to have everything done in order to have a March 2014 surgery. Hoping to make some friends here along the way.

Wow we are in the same exact boat. I began my process roughly a month and a half ago. I am crossing my fingers that march will be the month of survey too. We should continue to motivate each other, I am so excite and nervous at the same time. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you! = )

      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?
