Whoo Who after 18 months, 2 insurance companies, and a loss of 70lbs on WW, the doctor's office just called and asked me to pick a date 4/14 4/21 or 4/28. !! I nearly fainted. I picked 4/28 cause I need time to get things ready at home. Then I asked about the pre op diet that they drilled into me 9mths and they where like no big deal about it. which has left me a little confused. I guess I should call back the office and ask for more details but they said I could use opti-fast. Help... Oh yeah how do you add those cool tickers to your sign on ..... am i just babbling ??? sorry I am kinda of exicted and scared at the same time I mean its just 3 weeks a way. :biggrin2:

Congratulations , I very excited for you. I was banded on April 1st and my process was a lot easier than some I have read about on the forum. I visited a True Results Center in Atlanta on February 6, 2008 for a Free Diagnostic. After my Psych Eval, Nutrition Consultation, and blood work my package was sent to the Insurance Company BCBS of Georgia. I was approved on March 15, 2008 and my surgery was scheduled for April 1st. Every thing really seemed to go very fast so enjoy this pre-surgery time. Because the post op diet of liquids only is no fun!!!!

Congratulations!! Wow, 70 lbs down from WW already -- what a great start, and now, with the band, you likely won't rebound from that loss.

There's a sticky thread somewhere about how to do the tickers... maybe do a Search on ticker.

      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?
