So i have been going through this process for a little over six months. I am ready for surgery already! I find myself daydreaming about what life will be like in an "average" body. I can take the plug out of the bathtub, bend over to tie my shoes, wear high-heels, and ssoooo much more. I am so excited, I should have an answer from my insurance company this coming week (thats what they said) and I hope its a YES! It just seems like the process has been so long, the doctors office that i am going to (Dr. Ali, Fountain Valley, CA) has lagged on all my paperwork, I mean weeks. I know once its all done and over weith I will be happy but the waiting is horrible. I am trying my best to keep my mind off of it, doing other things. I just want to be out of surgery on my way to a new life already! :lol:

Hello Jessiccamarie, I hope you get your answer this week and it's YES!!! My surgeons process takes 4-6 months, so I know I will be as anxious as you in a few months.

      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?
