Surgeon FINALLY Got My Records From Liver Doctor



Recommended Posts

Well, just about two months to the day since my seminar and a brief visit with the surgeon, the right medical records were sent by the right person to the right person. In other words, after much effort by my husband and I, the surgeon has what he needs to make a decision about whether or not he will do WLS on me! But, of course, the first I can get in to see him is July 8. But, after already waiting for two months, I guess that is not bad. At least I will know if I will have surgery or not.

I haven't posted in a while. I decided to "forget" about surgery till I know if it is a go or not. I haven't lost any more weight but have maintained what I HAVE lost. I just can't seem to get going again. This has been going on for a week. I have NO idea what to do. And what if I can't have surgery? How will I ever get all this weight off.....I am afraid discouragement is reigning supreme in my heart and mind right now.

I wondered what had happened to you! Well at least things are moving now. Try to stay positive and don't give up what you have already lost. You did well so far and I really hope that everything works out and you can have your surgery.

I am thinking about you and will say a prayer for you!

Keep us posted please.

Have faith this will happen. Sometimes it happens in its own time and sometimes it is when it is supposed to happen and not when we want. Hang in there and keep us posted. Sending prayers your way for approval...

I waited 4 months, and I know others who waited far longer (in Canada they wait years). I know that doesn't make it any easier, but at least know that waiting is pretty much part of the game. Whether for medical reasons, insurance reasons, or personal reasons, most of us had to wait. Hang in there. I know it's going to work out for you! Keep us posted!

      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?
