:)Hi Everyone! This is my first post, so I'm not sure about doing this right. I have my first consultation on 9/17 and hope to find the right tools to get healthy. So, I have been reading everything and checking out your posts. I guess we are all in this together, so I'm glad to get started.

Hello and Welcome! :thumbup: This forum is somewhat confusing to find your way around at first. I've been on here for a few mths. and just figured out how to post a new thread...so, you are way ahead of me. :huh2: Good luck with the upcoming journey. I will be banded at the end of the month and my nerves are starting to get the best of me. :)

I've been researching for about 4 years and finally got the gumption to call and make an appointment. I'm not sure about when I might have the surgery, but want to get started...the before's and after's are very encouraging. Good thoughts for your day!!

      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?
