That's a really good idea trying to coordinate a support person with another sleever! I had my surgery in 4/4/14. A friend of mine had it done in August and she went with me. She actually did hers alone, and was just fine. After experiencing it myself, going alone is no big deal. Most important thing is to notify your airlines on your return so you can get handicap assistance thru the airports! 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.
