Surgeon Requirements?



Recommended Posts

So it's been a week since my consultation and my surgeon still hasn't emailed me with a list of the requirements I would need before my surgery. So I'm wondering should I call his office to see what's what??? I honestly thought they'd get back to me in the same week

Did he or she commit to email you something in a week? If so, I don't see a problem with calling and asking. Polite persistence can be helpful throughout the process.

I received a notebook with all of the requirements listed at my first required class. The surgeon's staff also helped me make most of the appointments. The finance person provided me with a detailed list of requirements related to insurance, etc.

Don't hesitate to call - it could have been delayed on their end or caught in Spam.

      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.
