Anyone having surgery January 2016?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, my surgery date is scheduled for January 5th. Anyone else having surgery then? I could have gotten it done sooner but my hubby can get time off easier if it's after the holidays. I've got my pre op appt with my surgeon on December 3rd, and my nutrition class on December 7th. I'm so excited!

I think that I will probably have my surgery in January, but I'm not scheduled yet. I've completed all of the requirements of my program (nutrition classes and counseling) and my insurance requirements (six month medically supervised diet), except for a sleep study. As soon as I get the sleep study done, they will be able to appy for insurance authorization and schedule. I'm thinking mine will be later in January, but I'll have to wait and see.

I'm a January baby! :) Not scheduled yet but appt with surgeon Dec. 17th to schedule and then final NUT appt Dec. 29th. I'm hoping for January 19th or after as that's when I have officially been at my job a year and qualify for FMLA.

I hope to! I don't have a date yet, but I've finished all my requirements except the nutrition class. I am waiting until January because I'll have better insurance.

      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?
