Christmas is finally over

Wow, is it ever hard to stay away from food on the holidays, I have just started this journey and know its at least 6 months for approval. No one calls back, Insurance is tricky and I need to loose some weight. This body of mine does not handle the lbs well. I'm going to start again today with the requisite phone calls but don't expect to hear anything until after the New Year. Why is it so hard to write in this forum??? I'm not sure why it is required... but if it will get me to the end of this journey I will continue to do so. Having some doubts.

Your Insurance or doctor is making you write in this forum?

Is that right?

That's... Well.. Just weird.. But if it's required that you write here, I would suggest that you read here MORE importantly..

I cant imagine being told I must write in this forum. But you will find that being able to write your thoughts down does help. I agree reading is the most important tool this forum has to offer.

You are not required to write here. Lol

It just helps to discuss and participate each step of the way. This journey is not a simple one and communicating with others who are going through the same thing is supportive in itself.

Good luck!

      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?
