First Surgeon Consultation Today!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am having my first surgeon consultation today at 4:30. I am so excited to get started. I guess I will find out all my requirements today, just hoping I don't have to do the six month supervised diet.

Thank you Teachamy!

I have a tentative schedule date for April. I do need the 6 month weigh ins, but the surgeon is including the seminar I went to in December and the January appointment as two month of weights. I have to check with my insurance since it is new (11/1/13), that there is not a 12 month waiting period. I do have a certificate of coverage that shows my prior coverage with a different insurance company and there is only a 60 day lapse between the 2 policies. Getting ready to get all my appointments done, one good thing is that I don't need a sleep study!!

      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?
