Hi guys,

So I've chosen Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC and now I just need to choose a date. I'm leaning towards August as that'll give me time to save more and not have to rely on financing.

I'm unfortunately going to have to go alone due to my boyfriends work schedule and he's the only one I told about this. I would feel much more comfortable if I knew another one of you will be going solo, or even with a friend around the same time. I know I don't know any of you personally, but we're both going for the same purpose so i figured that makes us friends!! :lol: :P :D

I hope I can join the party. I'm still waiting on financing. I picked Dr. E. Ortiz. My Dr has a two week prep. Three shakes and one sensible. Clears for the last two days. Good luck sleevers

      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?
