Hello and nice to meet everyone. I haven't even scheduled my surgery get I am just doing research and finding out some general information. I have got approved by my insurance company and just waiting for my appointment with the doctor that will do my surgery. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. How long did it take you guys to have a date for surgery after your first initial appointment? I would love any help or advance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. :crying:

hey Jayna79.. my doctor made me a tentative apt which means you can cancel at any time.. it was done on my first visit.. i already had spoken to my pcp about the lapband.. and i went for most of the test. Always do your research, and pick a doctor that is highly recommended. Remember, you are putting your life in his hands ;-)

      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.
