Not in the area anymore, but grew up in New Castle, to the west of Pittsburgh. Huge Steelers/Penguins/Pirates fan and just thought I'd drop in and say hi, welcome, and best of luck!

Hi there! I'm in Philly and was sleeved on 8/23. Once you have met your team, find out if they have support group meetings. Your support group at your hospital can be a tremendous help. Pre-Op I found the support group meetings to be tremendous. Hoping to get to one next week to talk through some issues I'm dealing with post -op. Best of luck!

      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?
