Welcome to the forum. You will indeed find a lot of support and encouragement here. I joined in August 2013, and have checked in nearly every day to see how my bariatric borthers and sister are doing. Just keep in mind that we are "just folks" as my grandma used to say, and that opinions and tact will vary.

Welcome. You will learn a lot from the posts on this site. It's also a great place to find out if what you are going through is normal. You will probably have so many new sensations and reactions that you'll be certain that something must be going wrong. Then when you check this site, you'll find lots of people have had the same experience, and you'll feel relieved. (At least that was my experience when I was newly sleeved.)

      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?
