Hi. I am getting the gastric sleeve done soon, the beginning of September. I need to meet some people who already have the sleeve or who are getting surgery soon. Is there a September group?

I am a few pounds over goal - but still a normal sized woman. It will be 5 years in December, a dream come true!!!

I don't know about Whidbey Island, but Providence, Swedish, Evergreen etc all have support groups. I went to Puget Sound Surgical in Edmonds - they are now called Evita I believe. I recommend them highly, I trust the surgeons but also had good experiences with the entire "program."

Seattle-ish Though we were stationed on Whidbey when I was a kid. I was originally scheduled for October, but they're supposed to move me up to the 28th.

      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?
