Lol...I'm such a kidder!

I'm in the process of getting approved...had a setback because my psych eval said that I need to wait until my husband comes back from Iraq to have the surgery...so it'll be like 6 more months until I can do it..

Just thought I'd introduce myself though. I'm a mother of 2, full time college student at Kansas State University, and an Army wife (which means I'm on tricare).

So HELLO EVERYONE!:grouphug:

Welcome to the message boards! You sound like one busy person and I bet those 6 months will fly by. Tricare is awesome! I have nothing but good things to say about them through this whole process.

Good luck to you!

Welcome to the boards fellow Army Wife! I as well have Tricare and still have to do a sleep study before it gets submitted for approval. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. BTW, hubby is from KS. My step-son graduated from KU last year and my youngest step-son graduates from Washburn in Topeka. We are headed out in December. We can't wait! Best of 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
