I'm in Colorado and hoping to use my insurance. I have medicaid through the end of the year so I'm hoping to be able to get it done in time. I've been seeing my PCP to start my medically supervised diet so if they will count my two weigh ins with her then I MIGHT be able to get it done in December. If not then I'm probably going to have to go to Mexico and pay for it with my tax refund.

Ok, so I was originally suppose to have my first visit on August 4th, but someone cancelled and I was moved up to July 21st. I'm so excited and nervous. I stayed up late last night watching YouTube videos of first appts/consultations.

1st appt went great!!! I met my surgeon and he seems awesome. Broke everything down, even drew pictures of the procedure. My insurance only requires 3 months of medically supervised weight loss. So I have 90 days to get all my test done and clearances approved. I'm so sure time will fly by..... oh the dietician wants me to lose 10lbs before surgery. Sounds very doable. I'm super excited!!!!

      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?
