Hi, I am new to this site, had my pysch evaluation today and was approved, now waiting for insurance company approval. I can't wait for that to come, this should all be going fast from here on out I hope.

I am ready to lose this weight, today I found out I am a borderline diabetic, that is so scary for me. So see my health is all pointing to getting my weight undercontrol.

Keep me in all of your prayers as I will all of you also.

hi Curlytop,

I am being banded on April 16th and cannot wait! I was sooo excited to get my actual date. I remember going through the psych eval and being worried about it. Then I was approved by insurance on March 10th. Good luck as you wait for your date. Just remember that once you have the surgery a lot of the diabetic problems will probably get better if not go away completely. I have a 2 year old son who is my life and just thinking that if i don't lose weight I may not be around for him as he grows up. That was enough to make my decision. I will say a prayer for you. You are at least making steps toward doing something good for your health, so try to find comfort in that.:cursing:

      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?
