Has anyone changed jobs during the pre-op stage of surgery? I currently work in hospital registration. My hours lend well to me having morning appointments whenever I need to. It would not be an issue for me to take time off to recover from surgery either. I've also met my deductible and have only $500 left on my out of pocket.

Today I had two back to back interviews at a health insurance company. Before I left the interview, I was asked to interview with two more mangers (2 other positions). I also was contacted today by another insurance company to do a video interview. If I get the job with the company that I video interview with, taking time off won't be an issue. I would work from home. The issue I would have is needing to take time off 6 months down the road after being newly hired at the other company. Has anyone experienced this? How did they handle it? Did they have to start the insurance process over again? Did they let management know up front that they might have a procedure in the near future?

Not sure on the insurance aspect. I would assume that if insurance doesn't change then that wouldn't be a problem. But I am a hiring manager and the more up front and honest you are with whomever is doing your interview the more they will like you. Just tell them the situation.

      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?
