Hi, I am 31 and still in the pre-surgery stage waiting for my appointments and date. I live in Los Angeles and am looking for someone around my age to be a buddy :)

Hello Tiana. I am Nicole and I am in the pre-op part of this process as well in Northern California.

I have my insurance through Kaiser and I have currently completed the 2 hr orientation, 4hr class, 1 surgeon appointment, and nutrition class. I have my next appointment scheduled on May 21st for my psychological exam. I am 3lbs shy of the goal weight they have given, but will hopefully reach that when I go back in.

Good luck on your journey :)

Hi Tiana,

      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?
