RE: Just checking in



Recommended Posts

First of all I would like to thank you all for being here for me and for one another! I finally had a chance to voice my concerns to my Surgeon and office staff. I told them how I felt about their treatment of me, my perspective, of course, and told them how their lack of concern had made me feel. I told them that I had recieved more answers to my questions, on this forum than I had recieved from their office! I also got my first fill [1cc.] after 5 mths out instead of the 6 months that my dr. wanted me to wait for. I just now recieved my second fill[.5cc.] I am doing fine! I no longer get the stink eye from the office people1 In fact this last appointment my husband sitting in the waiting room, overheard one the the office managers tell a patient not to give up on the process of being approved for surgery. She said one of our most persistent patients { she named me} just walked into the exam. rooms. She did not give up ...she is six months out and has lost over 35lbs so far! I was surprised to hear this! I am greatful to have had all of your support! I no longer feel like a victim of my dr. office staff! We seem to have a better understanding. I thank you all for your great advice...I am truly grateful! Linda :cursing:

      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?
