Just scheduled my initial consultation!



Recommended Posts

I just scheduled my initial consultation with the surgeon for 3/25! I'm excited! I have an appointment with my GP on 3/26 to talk about my medically-supervised weight loss, as required by insurance.

Anyway, it's a little thing but I'm really excited - it's the first step!

Congratulations, you'll be surprised how quickly everything goes from here and how fast time flies. I am scheduled for a

stress test (past heart stent), then once cleared by Cardiologist I will have final surgeon appointment. I'll know then about insurance status and surgery approval. My Initial Consult was early 12/13. Good Luck!

Congrats on taking the first step. I am on month 4 of 6 weight study with my PCP. I have learned a lot on this sight.

      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.
