My date is Dec 14th, which is the exact date I wanted, I even have photographic proof of my handsome doctor :)

I am a teacher. That gives 19 days off of work. I have to miss the last three days before Winter Break, which is fine by me.

He did say that I could go home that day, like outpatient. Which seems REALLY weird. I will think about that some more. I would prefer my bed, but I worry about going home after something so major. We. Will. See.

Now to find out the final total I owe (I have to pay $5k Out of Pocket PLUS my deductible) and other stuff. Sucks Big Time. Months ago I asked my Dad for a loan and now it is time to put up. He wanted me to try to diet and exercise, tried to make it conditional..which is his FAVORITE thing to do. I of course did little of that..post-291635-0-34586900-1478817259_thumb.jpg I am certain that I am pretty much paying for the whole thing myself..but that is okay, as long as I do no not wake up dead!

The countdown begins and yes I am now very nervous!

      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?
