I'm such a dum dum and Jason u r awesome for replying to my ever growing list of questions. I will be in town that weekend afterall! Besides, I'm such an information junkie that I need to attend every meeting! :sidebar: I am worried sick about this approval process. I have the BMI but no comormidities. What about u? Is naomi really good at sending info to ins co so that it gets approved?

hmmm maybe I could use that as a thread starter.

They most definitely WILL NOT do your surgery if you haven't been to a support group meeting or a nutritional class.

I talked to Naomi this morning and she said that I will have to do the nutrition class once I am approved. She made me feel better about the approval process. So now I am just waiting...

      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.
