I have an amazing surgeons office, my primary Dr told me that people travel from all over the world to have Dr. Leport as their Dr.

I am actually going to have Dr. Kelly Francis do my lapband, she was the first one under Dr. Leports supervision that started doing Lapbands. she is awesome.

ANyway, her surgeries are about 6 weeks out right now.

SO if I schedule it next week sometime I will probably be doing it from mid to late June.

Im cool with that though cause I dont have that much vacation time accrued so by then I will have more and wont be missing out on any time.

      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.
