Recommended Posts

Can I sky write this? OMG! I just knew I wasn't going to be approved but then, I got a call this morning from Triwest and the lady said she reviewed it and that I'm APPROVED!! She was great too! She asked if I had help after the surgery and asked if she could call me after the surgery! How sweet is that?!

UNFORTUNATELY, since my dr. is the most popular and this is the only city in Montana that does lap band, my surgery isn't until November 3rd! WOW! I don't care though cause I know I WILL have it done! And this is the BEST feeling in the world knowing my life will be changing and soon!

Congrats!

I had my band through a study and half way through all my test, they told me I might not get the band and i cried. I cried for days. I had previously thought of having the bypass because I was 17 and 246 pounds at 5'3'' and the wieght was just going to keep coming. When I went to the seminar, I knew I was meant to have the band. I knew it was something I could do. After 6 months of eating my feelings, i went for a doctor visit and they said your surgery date is October 3 so we need to get you started on liquid pretty soon. Exactly like that. Again i cried but this time tears of joy. And today I have officially lost 90 pounds.

So I feel exactly where you are coming from. Even writing it in the sky wouldn't have been enough.

So congrats again and just keep your faith and you will do great.

Congratulations!!! Keep calling the doctor's office and see if there are any cancellations. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

      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?
