Hi Manuela!! I am new here, and according to the dr. my surgery date could be May 11, which is close to yours. I did all the pre-op appts and am just waiting on the insurance piece. I am going to call them Monday and see what's happening. Hopefully my May 11 date still stands. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and I understand what you are feeling because I'm feeling it too! I'm scared and excited and I've had so many emotions over the past few weeks that I am just exhausted both mentally and physically! OK buddy, here we go! :-D

Good luck to the both of you. I had surgery in March, but am here if you need to reach out to anyone.

      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?
