I am so excited. I am scheduled for June 26th at 1PM :wub: I am having a hernia repair done at the same time (an incarcerated umbillical hernia) I have BC/BS of IL :confused: I have already gotten one denial from them. My doctors office has gotten together the requested info (5 years documentantion of weight, sleep study, psychologists report...just waiting on letters from my personal physicians (my old one in MI, and my new one here in CO) I do not however, have the required 6 month medically supervised diet history...sooo...I am expecting another denial. We are just going to pay the lap band portion of the surgery out of pocket (about $5500.00) instead of doing the hernia sugery now (which can't wait) then doing the 6 month diet and going through another surgery.

So...I'm almost there. I can't wait :thumbup:

      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?
