Recommended Posts

I started my journey New Years Eve with my initial consultation with my Dr and last Thursday was my final NUT visit and I lost 10 lbs. Before I even left the office they had submitted my paperwork to my insurance for approval and toady I got the phone call that everything was approved and surgery is April 25th. I'm on cloud nine!!!!!!

Congratulations! It all seems so much more "real" once you have your approval and your date, doesn't it?

      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?
