I just got approved and thought it would be a good idea to check in here. I'm supposed to call and schedule a date this week; have mixed feelings about the whole thing.

Congratulations on getting your approval. If you are having mixed feelings, you need to be sure this is what you want to do before scheduling the date. Have you reviewed all your options and researched as much as possible?

Actually, I've been investigating this for several years. Now, that I have the approval, it's no longer a pipe dream. It's similar to when I proposed to my wife. I asked her about 10 times, because she thought I was joking. When she finally accepted, reality hit. I still wanted to do it, but I started second guessing myself: "Am I doing the right thing? Why am I doing this? I'm just asking for trouble." That was 39 years ago and we're still married.

This is a major commitment and I'm going to do it, but.....

I just have to go through my little internal struggle before I do it.

      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?
