Hello!

My name is Shauna and I started my sleeve journey on my Birthday 7/10/13....I've been thinking about getting the sleeve for sometime now but had my surgeon consultation on that date after deciding now was the time to make the change to get the weight off so I can live for me! I am almost done my pre-op process. I only have my pulmonary clearance left to get. I just found out I have mild sleep apnea so I have to get tested with the cpap machine then within a month if all goes well, I should get my clearance. (YAY!!)

This process has been interesting for me because I've found out about a number of issues that I have but wouldn't have known about had I not decided to have this surgery. Looking forward to making new friends who are going through or have been through this process as well!

      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?
