How nice to see that there is someone in Tallahassee! Congrats on your decision. Where will you be having your surgery? I will be banded on Sept. 3 in Colorado with Dr. Kirshenbaum. I also live in Tallahasssee and have been looking for someone local to share our experiences with. Welcome!

Hi Tally,

I am scheduled to be banded in Sept by Dr. Kirshenbaum. I live in Ft. Myers. Any pointers/suggestions? How do you handle fills?

Thanks

What date will you be banded? I am going on the 3rd! I have priced everywhere and it seems like it is less costly to go back to CO to Dr. K so that is what I will do, at least for now. If it's going to cost me the same I might as well stick with the surgeon performing the surgery.

Hi Melann,

Nice to meet another person inthe area. I will be going to CO. since I am self pay but I live in Tallahassee and would love to stay in touch. When is your surgery? I called Dr. Crooms to see if he would do my fills but they said no way! Oh well, it would have been nice.

Yes I am using Dr. Crooms. I haven't been approved yet, but heard that BCBS is pretty good about approving...I don't know though. I have everything left to do! Feels like it takes for ever to get things done.

      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?
