I have to have a nutrition consult and a psych consult then the submit my info to the insurance company and I should get approved! Have my nutrition consult on wed and psych on Saturday! I thought it was going to take forever to get in to see these people! I'm guessing I should have approval by the end of April! It's happening so fast! :-)

Hello, I just ready your post.... Congratulations, I too am on my way. I had my meeting with the patient advocate today to give all my health info, insurance info etc. I have my first doctor appt. March 27th. Then I meet with the nutritionist April 10th
I also thought it would take forever, I have my other appointment dates set. and if all continues to go well, I am hoping to get my approval by the end of April. Though I don't have the exact date, it looks like my surgery will be in July, as my pre-op appointment is the end of June (as long as there are no bumps along the way *so to speak*)

Please feel free to keep in touch... I would love to hear of your progress. (if you feel ok sharing it).

Sincerely, Angi

      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?
