I turned in all my paperwork from the seminar, got weight and height answered a few question last Friday right when my surgeons office opened. They said they would call to schedule my first initial appointment to meet the surgeon, I was expecting to hear back maybe by Monday or Tuesday. I called today and asked if I was supposed to wait for them to call or I was supposed to call, they said it's still under the review process before they schedule an appointment. I asked the lady okay so maybe by the end of the week you will call, and she said shouldn't be too long but I don't know if we will call by then. So I'm just wandering how long after you filled out your initial paper work did it take them to contact you for your first appointment? Thanks

My pcp sent over a referral and I got a call from the surgeons office that day and I was in for my consult the next week

I just had my first appointment today, I called two weeks ago and made this appointment. After 30 min I had a surgery date set up. Maybe it's just this office is really busy?

      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?
