The ball is rolling



Recommended Posts

I got a call yesterday scheduling my first dietician appointment on 09/09/08. I got a call today to schedule my first consultation with the surgeon on 10/1/08. However, I also have to see a Pulmonary Doctor because I snore. They need to make sure I don't have sleep apnia, of course that doctor is booked until November :smile2: So, that is making my process longer.

Has anyone else have to see a Pulmonary doctor? What happens.

I had to do a sleep Study first then went to a pulmonologist. I found out I have Moderate Sleep Apneas. My husband can't beleive it because he says I don't snore I just breath heavy. I went to Pulmn. and he looked down my throat and asked me liek 20 question on how tired you are during the day, sleeping patterns, snoring and how do you feel when you wake up in the morning. My Dr. won't do Surgery till I'm on the mask. So now I have to back again and do the study again with the mask.

      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?
