I guess the next question is who is Steven Assanti, other than someone who looks like they came from central casting for the "serial killer" role?

Steven is a dude with some severe psychological issues and addiction problems...who is sort of infamous on My 600 pound life for being an incredibly awful patient.

This pic gives the impression that he's making some better choices.

I have been a nurse for 10 years and patients like Steven Assanti are not that rare. His behaviors are the classic demands and manipulations of an addict. And when I say addict I am including all the people who feel justified taking way too many pain pills just because they found a doctor to prescribe them. The tantrums for narcotics are all the same.

Stephen is beyond an addict. There are other issues at play.

Bah, thankfully Dr. Now saw how much of a risk he was to himself. Did the surgery to save him from himself.

There was a video not too long ago where Steven was bragging that he acquired Fentanyl Patches. Seems like he is up to is old shtick.

      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?
