I went to the seminar on 10/2, had the psych consult and appt with dietitician AND appt with Dr. Smith all in one day -- on 10/10, the pre op appt with the nurse on 10/18 and the surgery on 10/25. I found the whole process to be very quick. I was self pay so there wasn't any insurance red tape to go thru. I'm sure if ins is involved it could be ALOT longer no matter what doc you see.

Have you been to his seminar yet? If not, definitely do that and they will be able to give you a lot more info on the whole process.

Good luck!

      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.
