I am hoping to lose 100 lbs also. I have had no trouble at all so far. I really like my Surgeon Dr. Spivak in Houston. Make sure you find a Doctor you like it makes all the difference I think. Since I suffer from bad anxiety I went to seminar on Saturday and had surgery on Monday morning. I was self pay so it worked out that way. I did not want a lot of time to think about it since I already made up my mind and did a lot of research beforehand. It kinda shocked my husband when I schedule for that soon but he was up for it.

      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.
