I am starting my process as well. I met with my doctor yesterday. So I am in the process of scheduling the appointments and losing the required 20lbs on my own.

I just confirmed health insurance coverage and am awaiting paperwork in the mail. Once I send that in and the surgical center validates my insurance coverage, my first appointment will be scheduled. (So, I am WAY early in the process) :)

I'm early in the process too. I've met with the surgeon and had my seminar a few weeks ago. The following week I met with my NUT for the first of 3 visits. On Tuesday I have my psych eval. My requires 90 days with NUT will be August 31 then we can submit to insurance and get my endoscopy and X-ray scheduled as well as my surgery. Hoping to have surgery before October 1 as that's when my deductible will reset and I'm close to meeting it now!

Cool. The scheduler that called me said my insurance has no real requirements, so my timeframe will be dictated solely by what the hospital requires.

Super cool! I actually scheduled two appointments in one day, e.g. psych and Nutrition, in order to speed things up. Keep me updated and if i can help in any way, let me know!

      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.
