O boy, surgery on Monday? Will be keeping you in my prayers that you heal fast. My first info session was in October and just had my surgery on June 6th. I was first scheduled for April 11th but it got canceled and I couldn't fit it in until this month. But I'll tell ya, I think it's good to have time to digest this whole thing and begin the divorcing process from food. By the time I had my surgery I had made peace with giving up my addiction to food. Take Care

      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.
