So my first appointment with my PCP was last monday. I was told id probably have to do a 6 month diet, but I am on WW so it would go back from the day I started WW.

I left for a cruise on Thursday, and I already had a letter in the mail dated last Wednesday saying I was authorized to see the surgeon! Can you flippin believe that? I thought it would be late april or May that I could finally schedule an appointment with the surgeons office.

Now my first orientation class is next Friday 4/3. Its 2 1/2 hours and they will by then be able to tell me what Ill have to do before seeing the actual surgeon! Im so happy I cant believe it. This is going so much faster then I expected!

I am so happy for you. My appt to talk to my doc about the lapband is Apr. 8th. I am so excited. I am hoping I don't have to wait the 6 months. I would like to have my surgery before the summer while my kids are still in school. All I can do is just pray it works out for me. Good Luck... :rolleyes2:

      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.
