I finally got my referral from my PCM today. Now, I need to go meet with the Bariatic team. I attened the seminar. SO now I guess I just wait to see what the next step is. I really hope this goes smoothly and we don't have any problems with Tricare. Wish me Luck!!!!

While I waited I used the time to find out what my insurance actually needed (i.e. BMI and how many comorbidities). It took several phones calls until I actually got a person who could answer my questions. In the end it was helpful b/c the insurance person at my bariatric doctor's office told me there was no way I would be approved and tried to cancel my appointment. I insisted on my appointment and before I left their office the doctor told me I was right, that the should have no problems getting approved.

      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?
