New girl ready for a new life.



Recommended Posts

Good morning,

I am so glad I found this forum. I'm new here and have already been encouraged by the things I've read.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I'm a single mom to three amazing kiddos, ages: 18 (girl), 14 (girl), and 7(boy).

I have a great education, a great job, and great kiddos - it's time for me to be in great health.

The gastric sleeve seems like a good tool to get me started.

Thank you all for your encouragement. I hope to give you the same in return.

I'm ready to let my outside reflect who I am inside.

-Melissa

      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?
