Hi,

I am in the planning stages of getting bariatric surgery (gastric bypass). I found this forum through Google. I look forward to chating with people here!

Thanks for the welcome. This support group is long overdue my surgery was in January 2011 and I've kind of gone off and on with support groups and I realize now is the time that I'm going to finally commit and share my story

Thanks for the welcome. I'm still educating myself about what to expect post-surgery. I want the healing process to be good. I will continue to look around this forum.

      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?
