hi, not only is this my 1st post here, but this is my first post anywhere so please bear with me. i already posted something on here a couple of minutes ago but don't; know where it went so here i go again. i had gastric surgery to remove 9" diverticulitis large colon. all went well the incision was from the bottom of my chest to pass my belly button. after i went back to work i did heavy lifting a ended up with 16 hernias. the doctor reopened the incision and place fabric across my stomach. now i have gained a lot of weight and feel that i am stressing the muscles from a sagging gut. before this all happen i weighted 235 lbs. now i weight close to 280 and am 5'9". blood pressure is up and i am stressing about pains on my now 2 year old incision. does this sound like insurance may help? thanks for your input. Dean

      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.
