I thought i should actually become a member, now i have a date of the first of august, have been reading alot of posts in the last couple of weeks, trying to work out what counts as a normal consultation, i had mine on friday and was there just over 2 and a half hours, say the patient coordinator, the surgeon and the dietician.

I am 23 and origionally started looking to have a breast reduction when i was about 16, however, time has passed and I now think this is the better option as i hopefully, fingers crossed, will stay in proportion. however, before now, wheneva i have lost weight, i have never managed to reduce my bra size, but i will just have to wait and see.

i am 5'7 and 19.5 stone, and my ultimate aim is to get into size 16 clothes.

      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?
