Hi Mike let's do this. An accountability partner is just what will get us to our goals. Still interested? What date shall we begin? Online only or calls as well? Let's decide initially on what we need from each other to be specifically accountable for. Diet, exercise, encouragement? My name is Annette

I had dr Heider... I had surgery on the 26th. Still a lot of drainage and some pain at incision sites.

Oh awesome! Did he do a good job? Is there anything I should know? I’m supposed to go to my pre-op meeting tomorrow but no one told me the time. If you know what times they do that, it would be super helpful to me since I can’t get ahold of the office staff.
Did they set up your appointments for the endoscopy and stuff at that meeting? Michelle hasn’t told me anything and I’m do for surgery the 10. I’m a wee bit put out about that and it’s making me reconsider having the surgery so quickly.

Check your email they sent me all my appointments in an email. He did a good job ... I had Lapband removed and a sleeve done so not sure if that’s why I’m having more pain than I remember in past. My drain is still getting a lot too. I go back on Tuesday .

      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?
