hi

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I just finished the online seminar and the registration and now I guess I just have to wait until they call me. Did it take a long time for them to call you? What is the first meeting with him entail? I just have so many questions and I am so glad that I found someone from CT! WAHOO

Well thank you and please get back to me soon.

Jenna

      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.
