All preop assessments and tests will be done mid March. After that, request is submitted to insurance then it's up to them to approve. So if all goes well, late March, or early April. I'm doing my part , the rest depends on others.


You are exactly where I am! All of my stuff is done. I just have my final appointments with the surgeon. I'm hoping to get my insurance submitted April 1st and then get a date from there!

Wishing that all goes according to what and when you want. I've been weighed at every single Drs appt (5 in all), and my weight has a 9 lb difference depending on which scale I get on. I'm going by my new scale at home and I'm happy with that. It's an expensive one that measures bmi, etc. Plus my true weight without clothes and boots is my true weight as far as I'm concerned. ?

      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.
