Even with my 2nd go at it, I'm still nervous! If I wasn't I'd be concerned.

Why has it been so long if you don't mind me asking?

I started in winter 2014 with 1 surgeon but in summer 2015, I didn't think we were on the same page any longer. So I went to another surgeon and in Nov 2015 attempted VSG, but it had to be aborted after 3 incisions were put in me. They had issues keeping me inflated enough to operate safely. So I allowed myself to heal and continue to lose weight since November, and am now making my 2nd go at VSG surgery.

Why not the Gastric Bypass? If you had the sleeve once.

My last sleeve operation was aborted after they put 3 incisions in me. They had to abort the surgery, so I never got the sleeve done.

      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?
