I don´t know what to do anymore, first I took me 1year and 8 months to make up my mind that I have no choice but to do something drastic in my life to change my eating habbits and lose weight or I´m not going to be arround much longer, but the closer I get to choosing a doctor the more confusing it gets, any advise...

You just have to put one foot in front of the other - do your research on the doctors you want to go to - make an appointment and interview them - then choose who you feel most comformtable with.

Take it one step and you will work thru this - It's hard to give up your best friend food - and you may be putting blocks up to deter your getting healthy - the longer you wait the more damage you are doing to your body ..

Good luck in your journey

The informational meetings are usually free and banded people are there to answer questions. Start dialing surgeons' offices and scheduling yourself for these sessions. You'll meet the surgeons and his/her staff as well as others who are where you're at. 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.
