I am NOT crazy, the psychologist said so today.

Had my pre-op consult, and she is typing up the letter today, giving it to the insurance lady and my paperwork will be submitted to UHC tomorrow. I also had my appt with the cardiologist, and he said all is good, my ekg was great, blood pressure good, and ready to go. He has no problems clearing me for surgery.

SO... from there i had all my labwork done. Now just to meet with the pulmonologist and then get the upper gi done. All that I have that is going to take time is the esophogeal motility test, and i am not happy with the people over there, so we will see about that.

ANYWAY, hoping to hear soon exactly when I am going in.

OH, I lost 2 ounces since last Thursday's appt, and I even had eggs, bacon and potatoes today for Breakfast before my appt. hmmm.

Went back and had the other blood test done today to check my cholestoreal.

Then I finally was able to get the numbers necessary for the insurance company, I called and NOW, they want a 5 year weight history. Well I haven't been to the drs every year for 5 years. I have had several er visits, but they don't always weight you. I have to call the hospitals and find out if i can get a copy of my records, and hopefully they will. OTHERWISE, I am screwed.

      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?
