Hello From The Adirondack Mountian, New York



Recommended Posts

Hello to all

I'm a 56 years old, 400lbs guy who is currently jumping through the hoops in order to have the surgery.

I'm scheduled for 1/26/09 if all the testing is completed by them. I don't mind saying that I'm scared to death about the operation and some of the tests performed. I keep going because I know that it will add years to my life . At least the quality of life will improve. I* will return. John

Hi John,

Greetings from your neck of the woods!

I am scheduled for surgery on 12/18 at Ellis Hosp. Tuesday I start the 4 weeks of Medifast. It's been a long journey, but I have learned so much along the way, mostly from this very site.

I wish you the best

Your Adirondack neighbor,

      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.
