Hi there,

I'm just down the road in Rainworth, Mansfield. I was banded in Derby at the City Hospital. Is that where you are going?

Yep, I was going to have mine in the Nuffield, but because I had sleep Apneoa they backed out. Like no overweight person has SA eh? They didn't have the emergency facilities, so they said, and would have to take me to the City in a blue light ambulance if anything went wrong. Useless. I had a blazing row with them.

Paul Leeder did my first operation. Very good guy, very friendly and professional.

Good luck with your operation.

      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?
