Hello to All!

I've been doing some voracious LBT reading for the past few days and I'm cruising through the pre-op process rather quickly. I am a patient of Dr. Oh in Federal Way, WA, and I have a surgery date of Sept. 27 scheduled.

So far I've had no problems re: insurance, a topic I see gets a lot of discussion.

I live in Gig Harbor, WA, and I'm a working co-parent to three young boys. I've finally decided to DO SOMETHING about all this extra weight, and I guess now is the time! I don't want to be held back in participating with my boys as they grow up and do all those fun, active things...I gotta keep up! And, I'd love to live to see them all grow old as well.

Continued success to all of you amazing losers!:mad:

Dana

Thanks to you both for the welcome!

I'm excited to be here, anxiously awaiting my surgery, and wondering what

in the world I'm gonna feed my family when all I can have are liquids!

I see many nights of frozen dinners in their future...:hungry:

      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.
