Does anyone live over a hundred mikes Fromm where they will be having their procedure done?


While I don't, I know the office that did my surgery often does surgeries for people in Wyoming, Nebraska and (I think) Montana.

The number of visits will depend on the requirements of the surgeon and of your insurance. If you have to do a monitored diet - you may be able to do that with your primary care. That would reduce the amount of travel.

I'm just getting started and I have to travel 245 miles to get to the first visit, I would like to know how many visit there are


I know that the practice I went to told out-of-towners that they would need to remain in Fort Collins a few days before surgery to sort out the formalities.

I am, I live in Alaska and will be traveling to Seattle WA for my surgery. When it's all said and done I will have made 3 trips down to the office.

Yes I have to travel from one end of British Columbia to the other. I am wondering what I need to bring with me, how soon do I start Vitamins, things like that. As I will be away from home for at least a week. And then fly home.

      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.
