Im 3 months into my journey i have my egd scheduled for 5/8 and slightly nervous about it. I just have to do 3 more months of medically supervised weight loss and then they submit everything into insurance. Ill have my surgery probably end of july early august and im nervous and excited at the same time. Would like to hear if anyone is at the same stage as me or even closer to their surgery date.

Hi. I'm pretty new to the group. I started in December with my first consult. My insurance required 3 months of nutritionist / doctor supervised weight loss appointments, psych consult, letter of medical necessity and a normal TSH test. I've done all of this and a cardio consult that my PCP wanted. My TSH came back slightly elevated so I had to switch my meds and wait a month to be retested. My retest is next Tuesday, so assuming my levels are normal, we'll submit to insurance next week. I've heard it takes my insurance (Cigna) about a week to get back with approval or denial. I'm hoping for gastric bypass in late May.

      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?
