Canadian starting process



Recommended Posts

Today was my initial consult, nurse, dietician, counsellor. I went very well. I am waiting now for the call to see the surgeon then a four hour info session. .... Then a surgery date. Does this sound similar to anyone else?

Mine was in a different order. Orientation session, then my first set of appointments with the nurse, dietitian, and social worker. My next set of appointments were set for 8 weeks after that (hasn't happened yet).

      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?
