I am so excited; I am now waiting to hear on my insurance approval and I will be banded in June!! I have great insurance and don't expect a problem because I meet every requirement and have 4 co-morbidities.

I feel confident in my choice of Surgeon and in my decision. I want to say that this confidence is in large part due to all I have learned in this forum. Thank you to all of of you who post here. Your stories, insights, struggles, and achievements have prepared me for what's ahead and I am very grateful!!

Hugs,

Mary in Las Vegas

Good luck to you Mary. I'm waiting for approval from my insurance. I too have found this such a great place to read and learn as well as speak. I'm hoping that I get approved next week .. I may end up waiting until mid July if I don't. I have a hugh family vacation (kids, grandkids and such) in mid june. I look forward to it each year.. it is a highpoint of our year. I just don't want to mess that up, so if I don't get approved this week I may postpone until after the 4th. I just don't want my small grandkids see me not up to par. I only see them twice a year.

      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?
