Well I did it. Last appointment was today! I lost another 2 pounds. Down 9 pounds since March. Ivan said it's gonna go by fast now as soon as they get the insurance approval. Hopefully something next week maybe. I will have 2 classes to take then talk to anesthesia. Can't even believe it.

Yeah Molly I'm so excited for you! It sounds like I'll be about 1-2 months behind you.. Maybe after we've both healed and it warms up we could meet up for a cup of broth...lol

Keep me posted on how long insurance takes. I saw Dr. Thompson is running a self-pay rate of $11999 if all else fails.

Thank you. And we should definitely meet up for lunch sometime. I would love to meet you guys. I actually have a friend who secretly got the sleeve done back in June. We went out to ihop without me knowing she had the surgery done. But after I brought it up about me getting it, she told me. She didn't eat much. She's lost a good amount of weight too. I also have another friend from school who just had a baby that had the sleeve done 2 years ago. She lost alot too. I'm pretty excited. I'm excited to be back to myself and have fun in life. I will be here for you guys too for any questions and help along the way. UC is so great though. Dr. Ivan is my favorite. He makes my day whenever I see him.

Im having mine done in Ashland. I will be seeing Dr. Wheeler. Yesterday was my FIRST appointment. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. I'm starting my 6 month process for my insurance, which will put my surgery somewhere around July. Looking forward to getting started on this journey!

      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?
