I have been referred to David Hewin, so we will see. If he wont provde a band on the nhs for me, then I will see him privately in Cheltenham.

Did you go down the nhs line in gloucestershire?

Best,

Jo

No I went straight to sell pay, as I didnt want to wait, not getting any younger!! Dr Chris in Belgium has an excellent reputation also great reports on here and its a lot cheaper than the UK

      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?
