Just approved for 6/28



Recommended Posts

Can't believe it. Took less than a week for insurance approval (Highmark BCBS of Delaware), and it's only been 2 months from my orientation/informational meeting with my surgical center (my insurer doesn't require nutrition classes). Pre-op diet starts in 2 days, so I think I'll have a food funeral of pizza and a beer to Celebrate tonight. Anybody else getting sleeved this month?

Thank you AZ . I am pretty nervous and excited ( mostly nervous! Lol) . I've researched and reviewed and stuck to my preop diet. Not an easy task but keeping busy helps . I have done and am doing my part to make this a success and there is no more to do but wait for the big day . I'm ready . Just want to get on the "other side " of the surgery . To be living it yah know. How much have you lost so far AZ.

      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?
