Appt. with surgeon tomorrow.



Recommended Posts

I hope Dr. Dicciccio sets the date for my surgery and tells me what else has to be done and gives me the scripts for it all. I'm tired of waiting. I know my insurance has covered it. They're the ones that told me to use this surgeon. Even though I know this, his office tells me it will take a month for the insurance company to approve the procedure. (sigh).

I have been reading all these posts about people waiting months for their surgery date, I don't understand I live in Florida also and I went to the Cleveland Clinic and met with my Doctor (which took only a few days to get an appt with him). on May 15,2014. I did all my pre-op tests and had my surgery on June 17, 2014. Why does so many people have to wait so long???????

also, my insurance was approved in less than a week, I called my Insurance Company and the insurance specialist at the Cleveland Clinic to push them along. If you live in South Fl go to the Cleveland clinic and see Dr. Szomstein

      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?
