I'm from Northern MS, about 15 miles from tupelo. I am still going back and forth on whether to get the surgery done, one day l'm ready to do it and then the next I'm like there's no way I can do this. I am done with all my preop appt's am now just trying to get myself talked into this, I'm just scared if I will be able to do this but if I don't I don't know what's left because I can't loose on my own, I need help and thats what I feel the surgery will be for me. So that's my story, thanks for your time :D :) .

Hey @@Heidijenn I think you've probably already answered your question. I just think fear is trying to take over. Think 6 months down the road, if you had the surgery, how do you think you'd feel? If you didn't have the surgery how do you think you'd feel?

      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?
