I am awaiting all the pre-screening results from Rockwood in Spokane Washington, I actually live a couple hours away. Waiting is frustrating it has been almost 2 weeks. I have called the nurse but haven't heard back. Anyone else going through Rockwood Clinic?

I live in the Tri-Cities and am using Dr. Fox in Richland. I highly recommend him for his services thus far. I have been working with him for the past three months and am due to have surgery sometime in late August. He is very thorough and keeps you updated about your testing. If you are close enough to give him a chance I think you would be happy with the decision. Otherwise I hope all goes well with Rockwood. I have not heard anything of them since I am living in the Tri-Cities. Keep up informed.

Thanks for the suggestion Jason. I am in Walla Walla and Rockwood was recommended by my primary care dr. I have a friend who went to Spokane as well. I have done all my piliminary work with Dr. Rawlings and was happy with his treatment. I am now just waiting to hear back from the pysch and hopefully have a date soon.

Oh I see... once I read your post again I understood a bit more. At first I thought you were having trouble with that office. Sorry for the confusion. I am glad things are going well for you! It is an exciting process and I know I am ready for the surgery. Like I said.... keep us/me informed of how things go with your journey. I would be interested in hearing from someone else so close by. Best of luck!

      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?
