So my surgery is in less than a month but I have to pre-register at the hospital a week or so in advance. The doctor also wants more blood work which I don't mind but didn't say when. Did any of you have to do this as well? Do I have to do this before I register at the hospital because they will need that information? They aren't helping me with these questions. I called so many times.

Yes. I had to get all of my blood work done again last week when I did my pre-admissions testing. When I first received my bloodwork orders about 4 months ago, I had them done then. Most of the results are valid for 3 months except the Thyroid which is longer. For me, they wanted to make sure that none of my levels changed dramatically.

      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?
