NOW i'm getting excited



Recommended Posts

When I started the 'program' at the current hospital , they asked me at my first appointment... "so, are you excited?" I burst their little bubbles by saying NO, I am not. Then explained to them that I had been trying to get WLS for 2 mind-numbing years but that because of insurance issues the rug kept getting ripped out from under me. But i'm soooooo excited now. This morning I found out I've lost 5 of the 17 lbs I need to loose, my A1C is down, and I have only 3 things left to do: Loose the remaining weight, take life classes, and complete the sleep study. THEN I can meet with the surgeons. WOOHOO this is the first time in a LONG time I've been excited about this journey. Feels good. Feels realllllll good!

Get your sleep study sooner rather than later. They can sometimes take a long time to get scheduled! :D Congrats!

It took my office 2 weeks of me checking in every week before I finally got a date to pick up my home sleep test, which requires a scheduled appointment.... Consult was feb 14. Not getting machine until March 13. They say they’ll have enough time to read results by my follow up March 19th. Definitely was t expecting this much leg work for a sleep study.

      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?
