I got a lot of wonderful info and I am excited to move forward. I will find out soon if my insurance covers it and if it does I will be moving forward. I am a ball of nerves but know I can do it and that this will change my life!:)

Congrats on the first step! I attended my seminar last week and left SO excited to get started!!! I was told it typically takes about 3 or 4 weeks to get that initial consult with the surgeon after the seminar, but I got lucky and my consult is this Friday (they had a cancellation right before I called!!!)

I'll also be going through the insurance approval process during this time as well, so wishing you luck on that part!!

(I'mReady--hope you enjoyed your seminar last night as well!)

Here's to the start of our great journeys!!!:biggrin:

I went to my seminar last night. I was so excited I emailed my insurance company this morning and found out the surgery is covered. I am waiting to set up my initial consultation.

Bigmomma don't pay that 1k "fee" until you check with your insurance to find out that what the fee covers is NOT covered by insurance. Please. Save yourself some bucks. (If you have a bunch to toss around, i could use some! :smile2: )

Thanks. I will wait to check it out before I do anything. I am so glad I decided to visit the site before I did anything.

Good! :smile2: There are bunches of really good surgeons out there so if this one is charging a fee "illegally", then you'll find a great one who is more honest. I know they have to make a living but not unfairly!

      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?
