December 2014 / January 2015 surgery folks?



Recommended Posts

It seems like everyone is so far ahead of me thought I would see if anyone out there is looking at similar surgery time.

I had my orientation, first sugeon appt and one of six required weigh ins with my PCP. I should be finished everything early December but figure it will take me to January to get approved and scheduled. ( Just in time to have to pay my deductible.)

I really like the idea of Winter time surgery. I am very into gardening and hope to be much more physically fit for Dpring gardening. I get goosebumps of excitement thinking about it.

Hopefully you will be able to make it. I don't really see December happening for me but it could be a remote possibility. My 6 months officially will be December 19th. I don't want to go right af Christmas but would take the 26th!

      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?
