Hi. I just found this app today. I went to a seminar April 4th and saw surgeons assist on April 10th. I have seen a nutritionist 3 times now and saw the surgeons assist again on July 10th. I had lost 12 lbs since April 10th and was told I could join the program! I am so excited! Now I start all the testing. I have endoscopy and colonoscopy August 31. Goal is to have surgery in October. I have fought weight issues my entire life and that has caused other health issues. Having this surgery will help me in so many ways. And my support person, my husband, supports me 100%. Looking forward to this journey, feeling good again, feeling good about myself again, being healthy, and being the person I want to be for my husband. Hope to find friends here that know what I'm talking about and how I'm feeling about myself.

      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?
