I finished with pre-screening this week. Now it is a waiting process for the pysch to get their report in. That can take 10 days or so. If I have the go ahead then a meeting with the dr. and dietitian and a surgery date! I am soooo excited.

Congrats on getting all of your pre-op testing finished! I remember when I finished it, I just felt such relief that they were over (there were so many tests!) and we could get on with the process!! Good luck, and let us know how everything turns out and when your date is!

      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.
