Hi, I was told I should have my surgery 2 to 3 week of October. I am very close to your November and who knows with insurance companies it may be November.

i will start with my schedule. I am not required by insurance to wait but my WLC has a very strict policy of 6 months of group meetings , doctor appointments and a slew of medical test and a mental evaluation. I already have had my first round of blood work, I am already using a CPAP machine for sleep. I have to lose 1 pound a month . I had to laugh at the 1 pound.

I would like to keep in touch while we go through this together . We are very close in the process.

I'm planning for Nov. My bariatric insurance benefits become effective in October. I have met with nutritionist, had fitness and psych evaluations, informational class and scheduled for EGD on Aug 1.

Had EGD today and a hiatal hernia was discovered which will be fixed at the time of surgery. I have a tentative date of November 19. My information is being submitted to insurance on October 29, my first day of bariatric eligibility.

      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?
