I completed psych and 6m of nutrition appts. Today I met with my surgeons PA and will submit to insurance sometime next week. Insurance will take 3-14 days to approve. Looking to schedule surgery end of may, but I may need to postpone it until end of July (due to my school schedule and vacations). I'm so stressed and excited. Possible sx date of 5/23, but I'm going to Mexico (all inclusive) 6/30. So I'm looking to stall until I finish nursing school in July. So much to think about!

I'm also worried they may not approve me bc I never wear my cpap. sleep apnea is my qualifying comorbidity.

Question: why don't you wear it?

Just wear your CPAP.

I wish people that need them could hear themselves. My friend has one, doesn't use it. We went on vacation and I had to sit in a hotel room hearing her die over and over in sleep all night. It was horrible.

Wear your CPAP, you are only hurting yourself.

      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?
