I know every hospital is different. But tomorrow I start my pre-op skills class. I go for six weeks every other week. What type of things should I expect at the class? My insurance only requires three months of surprised weight loss. I have one more appointment on April 27th. My last pre-op class is May 3rd. Do you do a diet during the class of liquids? Do you submit for health insurance approval during the class? I'm so nervous. :(

Heidi they are all different but each group seems to give good direction when you go. The best information I have found is the big book on RNY available here on Bariatricpal. It is so full of information and very helpful. Worth every penny. We are starting a Facebook page for newbies search for us on facebook pegraeswlsnewbies for any other support. Good luck and breath deep there are so many people here to support you.

      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.
