So yesterday I went to see my surgeon and give him all the results from the testing he order, also my psych evaluation and the letter from my pcm giving the ok, they said they are confident that is enough for the insurance to approve, they schedule a tentative day of June 10 for surgery and we should know by the end of next week ???????????? I want to be excited but then I'm like what if they say no, also having a surgery day is scaring me a little is happening so fast that is making me wonder if I will be able to go ahead with it. I know this is the best the thing for me I've tried for years to lose weight and I have, but it comes back, then I have the days where I don't feel like 230 is that bad I know it is, im 5'3 so that's a lot but I guess or at least hope I'm not the only one who has felt like this I hope the insurance does approve and I know I'll get over it just now my brain is running crazy ????

Try to relax............I'm just like you. I can lose weight and have even lost a significant amount when I set my mind to it...I lost 60lbs and in less than 8 months it was all back plus another 30......I've joked before, saying I should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for how much and how fast I can gain weight!!! Portion Control is my main problem and the sleeve will help me address that!! My surgery is Monday and I can'n't hardly wait to get started with this new part of my life! Good luck to you. The waiting is the worst part of this process!!!

      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.
