Hi! I live just outside Columbia,MD and I'm getting sleeved in December at the Anne Arundel Medical Center. Looking to meet or connect with anyone in the area :)

Not exactly in the neighborhood, but reasonably close... (I'm a couple hours northwest of you in Cumberland, MD)..

Welcome! I had my sleeve 7 months ago in Mexico.

Hi, I'm in Annapolis, and surgery is at AAMC, too, with Dr. Gandsas. My surgery date is pretty far in the future -- March 14th.

Apple! I didn't realize we were practically neighbors! (Ok, I never get down there anymore, but grew up in Calvert County, so used to go to Annapolis all the time!)

@Berry78, and my dad grew up in Cumberland! I'm gonna call you my Irish surgery twin, being as our surgeries are less than a year apart. :-)

I love that Apple and berry are Irish twins, sounds like the beginning of a delish fruit salad! :lol:

And welcome, @kelsen! I'm sort of near you, in Loudoun County, VA. I figure if I work in an office with people from where you are, it's close enough to be in the "neighborhood!"

      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?
