From what I heard, endoscopy is usually 2 weeks before surgery...however psych will need done prior to insurance approval. At least this is how it is working out in my case. I had my psych eval done when I started my 6 month phys assist weight loss in May/June. How ever they told me they wouldn't schedule my EGD until my insurance approves me for surgery.

I wish I could've done the psych eval early. I suppose I could still, but I am going to wait and use Dr Sabathy at the center. Might just as well do whatever is left to do with them anyway. My Birthday is in February. Maybe this can be my (early) birthday Present! :D

I'll admit, I've never been fond of the idea of seeing a psych...although it has been sooo helpful! I have actually continued to see the psych 1-2 times a month. Not sure how long I'll continue but it works for now.

      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?
