I had my last appt. of my supervised diet today. Yeah for that!! However, I was told that the nutritionist did not fax over a report from my visits with her, nor did they have the fax from the sleep study lab of my second visit with them. Therefore, they could not submit to insurance until they received those. I called the nutritionist and the sleep study lab as soon as I left to fax those missing items over. They both said they had already done so, but would do again. Therefore, I left without even knowing exactly when they are submitting. I told them I will call in a day or so to make sure they have submitted so I can keep track of when Aetna receives it so I can call them everyday about approval. This is the most frustrating thing I have gone through in a very long time. People just don't seem to get how important this is to do everything in a timely manner. I am on pins and needles since this all started, and it really doesn't seem like anyone really cares. I think I am going to go have a breakdown now-------

      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?
