First appointment done



Recommended Posts

I just had my first appointment I am super excited and kinda scared. My surgeon said I am a perfect candidate. I have to go to my psychological evaluation and nutrition class weigh in every month for 6 months then schedule my gastric sleeve. Anyone else just getting started scared and excited all in one :)

Me too I'm super excited I wish 4 months for me my insurance doesn't require much just nutrition and psychological evaluation but they do make me have 6 mo of Dr visits and weigh ins I think that 6 mo will go by fast tho. Glad to find this support group I'll need it :)

      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.
