Hi,

I went to Dr. Bhoyrul's seminar and met with him the end of April. Due to a job change I had to postpone anything further until now.

I really like him and his staff. Have you met with him yet? They have a very good reputation and program from what I can tell already. They provide all the information in your consultations.

I imagine I will get banded in the next month or two. I can't wait!

:)

Well i hope it all works out for you soon. I have not met him yet or even been to the clinic. My phsyc eval is tomorrow my only thing that is stressing me is that I don't have 5 years medical history of weightloss here in the U.S.for my insurance but when I called the nurse that overlooks everything said they would take Dr. notes from Mexico so i hope they will be ok, i treated my self down there for many years befor going to a doc here. We'll see, glad to hear good news about the doc and his staff let me know how it goes for you:) best wishes

Hey Smitten,

I had my psych evaluation on June 1st too (by your post I assume yours was June 1). Did you see Dr. Steres? She seems nice.

Have you gone any further? I just received a call from my insurance so I assume Dr. Bhoyrul's office submitted paperwork.

I am thinking I will schedule the procedure the first couple weeks of August, we have an office move that I don't want to be weak for so I think it is best that I wait until that is complete.

Good luck to you!

Katie

      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.
