Hello,

I am new here. I was approved for surgery last april but let friends and family talk me out of it, a year later and I am regretting it, my doctor has referred me again and I am anxiously awaiting approval. I so hope its approved again, but while I wait I am doing as much research as I can and have decided to start the pre op diet in anticipation. Is that crazy?

I've been on this journey for some time and have lost over 100 lbs doing WW, Keto and paleo over the past few years but I need to lose another 70 and its bein stubborn I NEED new tools. I hope to get the gasyric sleeve.

Hi! I think it's great you've finally decided for yourself to go through with the surgery; I too (as many of us I am sure) NEED to have this done. I am new here as well but have lost roughly 80 pounds on my own; similar to you I have about another 100 pounds to lose. I did regain some of that weight that I lost and I refuse to get back to where I was. I have been thinking about this surgery for quite some time now, but have finally decided it's time because I know and have finally come to terms with I need this.

I hope you get approved!

      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?
