Tomorrows consultation



Recommended Posts

maybe one day I will be hoping for one too - I will cross my fingers, eyes and toes for you! Tough day at work for me trying to work all crossed (fingers, eyes, & toes) though!

Let us know what the results are so we can cheer you on. I heard the recovery is a B*TcH.

@@youngmilf - I totally get the pic thing (naked or not). I didn't have any pain post op but I have heard its painful and I would like to possibly do my stomach and get the "girls" back to a normal area. I have always been chesty and my one GF's first question was post-op for the sleeve was "what about your boobs?" I couldn't believe it! She is almost as chesty and has a belly to rest hers on too! Love her, but really.....thought a sister wouldn't asked more about my new tummy :/

Hey all... Consultation went well. I go back sept 11th... I have a little work to do... I have to loose as much weight as possible. Between 30-60 at max... I also have to get a antifungal cream on documented for this persistant itch... If it works they wont approve... But if it doesnt then it will be approved... In so many words he gave me the blue print to get approved. The extra weight loss is to get the best result possible.... I do like a challenge and so he told me to enjoy my summer and i got my appt for sept...he told me this is going to be the hardest thing i do the extra weight loss.... But i know i can do it... Its crunch time now!!!

      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.
