Hey I am even older than you, I'm 72, and also going through this weight loss journey. You can and will handle changes, we have a commitment some of the young dudes and dudettes don't. We are still of the generations that believe once,you give your word you follow through with what you said. You'll find a lot of support here at,Bariatric Pal. All of us are either going through all these stages. or have been through them and give advice freely. As an example a few months back,I was having trouble,with a problem, shared It on here and another Bari-friend had just the answer I needed and i felt so much better for the help. I have,made some good friends here and I hope you will too😛

      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?
