I saw my surgeon for my consult last month but April is the month everything gets going for me. I have my psych eval on Tuesday, have my first nutrition visit on the 8th, and then my EGD on the 11th. Having a month between the initial consult and then scheduling the appts to get me to the surgery date has given me time to really let it settle that this process is going.

Just starting this process. My insurance approved. I am 66, low BMI, lots or all of the comorbidities. Scared and wondering if my age will be a problem. A little worried about the recovery because for 18 years I worked in a recovery room as an RN so I know too much. Am I too old? I feel the complications from my diabetes far outway the possible problems with gastric sleeve.

My first visit with the surgeon is April 11th as well. And I need to have my procedure in July, hopefully, so I am motivated to get my appts in as quickly as possible.

      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?
