Hi and welcome! We are glad to have you join us.

I take it from your user name, you are a fan of jeeping? DH and I love to take our jeep out to the woods on the weekends and participate in some jeep clubs as well.

Hey JeepinGirl, I am also a patient of Dr Warnock. I have surgery tomorrow and when I feel up to it will try and come back and let you know how it went. Congrats on getting to see him. He is a very nice doctor. Good Luck!

Yes, welcome!! I have been over weight all my life too! I am sure if they made plus sized diapers, I probably had some! I am almost crippled by arthuritis and the lapband is my only choice. I have my first dr. appt. May 9th, I am scared, but I am also hoping this will make me feel like myself again! I live in Garland, TX, so good luck fellow Texan and keep us posted!!

      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?
