Hi everyone! I’m at the very beginning of this process and I’m so glad I found this support group. I go to my first seminar next week and getting ready to meet with a doctor to start the program. I have been thinking about this surgery for YEARS and I’m ready to now go for it. I’ll be watching and cheering you all on from my side. Good luck and I’m looking forward to the official approval date :)

Not that I’m a veteran by any means but I guess I’ve been here longer than you so I’ll take the opportunity to say welcome! This really is a great community ripe with knowledge and support! Congrats on your decision and well wishes on your journey.

Welcome! Come here often as each time you do you will learn something new, and the more you know before your WLS the better prepared you will be and less fearful and nervous about your surgery. Do you know what type of surgery you want yet?

Hi thanks everyone! Yes, I’m wanting the sleeve currently. Unless something new I learn changes my mind.. that is what I’m seeking.

      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?
