Hello everyone! I'm new to all this but I was approved for the sleeve and was told I had to do 6 months worth of nutrition and classes, and other things. Today would of been my last day for nutrition phone visits and was supposed to start my 6 weeks of classes but was told I can't start my classes until January, I'm a little bumbed out but I guess it gives me more time to work on my nutrition and exercise. Good luck to all you that are having surgery in the days to come.

The time that it takes to go through the prerequisites is valuable. You will get an education about every aspect of the surgery and life after surgery, and it gives you a chance to really start tackling what you're taking on mentally, as well. The process is worth the time and energy you invest in it.

The six-month pre-op diet was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was super prepared for the surgery and to be able to meet the physical and mental demands post-op.

Good 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?
