Hi Nahyeera,

I searched for the right hospital and have fallen in love with Memorial Hospital in Miramar. They have the best service. I have been there for the seminar, ultrasound, and upper GI in preparation for my surgery. The service is the best. I am having surgery with Dr. Choi. He is really nice and his staff is great. My entire process took 4 weeks. I have been struggling with my weight for 10 years. I am ready to get rid of it once and for all. I am nausea and am sick to my stomach and I am just on the clear liquid diet. Your mind maybe ready, but your body might have a different say, so be prepared. Good luck

      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.
