Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am scheduled 11-12-13 @9am. I'm very excited/nervous/but ready. My insurance is paying for my surgery so I had to go through a 6mo process. I started at 275 6mo ago now at 265. I am on bp meds and my cholesterol is high and I also suffer with acid reflux. I'm ready to be done with the surgery part of this. I've only been put to sleep once for a very minor surgery so lil anxious about that. I have had 3 c-sections and have a pretty high pain tollerance so I hope that plays in my favor. My 1st goal in this is to get off my bp meds and level out cholesterol numbers. My next is to lose 115 lbs. I really enjoy looking at everyone's pics and reading inspiring stories. Thanks everyone for sharing ur journeys.

      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.
