Finally approved from TX



Recommended Posts

Happy New Year to all!!

HI I live in Dallas, TX and after a year of waiting I finally got approved by my insurance company to get thelap band. I still do not have a date. But I am really excited, something that seem so far away is getting closer which makes me a little nervous too.

Does anyone has any recomendations on how I should prepare myself (mostly emotionally) for the surgery and before the surgery?

I really like this site!

I thought it would never get here and after waiting forever, I was scheduled for Nov 1st, 2007. Geared up and ready to go and on OCtober 30th, got a call that my surgery had an emergency appendectomy himself and had to cancel. I was devastated. Waited it out and had it done Nove 30th, 2007 and doing great so far. Patty

      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?
