Hi All

I am just starting on my journey, I had my 1st consultation with Dr Ashton at the healthier weight centre on Sunday. My partner was very hesitant about me having surgery he thought it was mind over matter and that I should just go back on a diet take regular exercise and start taking Reductil again, all that changed after talking to Dr Ashton & has agreed to support me in my decision (yey)! I am definately ready but I am also feeling really nervous not sure how i will cope without food lol.

      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.
