Anyone else having their consult on the 8th or around that date? I have my first consult with Dr. Ayzengart and I am beyond ready to start my process. I’ll have 4 months of weight checks with my PCP so I’ll only need two more and whatever else he has me doing.

Good luck to you. There will be lots of other tests that you'll need to have done...for me it was an Endoscopy within the previous 2 years, sleep study, psych eval., and 6 months of pcp weight management visits.

Thank you! I’m beyond ready for my appointment. I have to travel almost 2 hours to my appointment due to them being the only closest doctors who accept my insurance. I can’t wait to get the list so I can get the ball rolling.

I have to go to Gainesville FL. I’m like at the state line of Florida and Georgia! There was a place in Jacksonville that I was trying to go through but they don’t accept my insurance and I can’t pay out of pocket. With my insurance, it’s paid for completely as long as it’s medically necessary.

At first I was just going to give up and not do it, but my boyfriend convinced me. He told me he’s willing to take me to every appointment, if that is what’s going to make me happy. He knows I hate taking pictures or having them taken of me. He’s seen me at my best and worst, so he knows I’m not happy with myself.

Today would have been my Daddy's birthday- i he would have been 106 if he was still alive, this means. he died in 1996, just past his 80th birthday. Wowee- almost a lifetime ago! I do hope in some way , on some level , he is watching and proud of ME! Maybe I would feel better if he's telling the other Angels " That's my little girl doing THAT!" Sorry, I'm crying a little, that's the bad part about outliving your family , no one to hug you, no one to share your joys!

      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?
