Consultation Appointment



Recommended Posts

I got the shock of my life today when I called the surgeons office. This process has been so slow for me, that I just expected it to continue to be a slow process. I have finally finished my nut visits and the psychological eval, so I called the surgeons office to schedule my consultation appointment. After being placed on hold for a bit, I was told that my appointment will be set for May 23rd! I was not expecting to get an appointment with him in 4 days!!! I am both excited and nervous knowing that this is the appointment when I will hopefully learn my surgery date. All of a sudden after months and months of waiting it just feels like it is all happening too fast. I am starting to feel like I am so not ready for all of it. I have not even started my list of questions for him! I am so thankful to have found this community, I have been lurking and reading for a while and have learned so much from everyone here!

      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?
