Chell...I am in the process of all my appointments. I have been lucky to get a couple appointments each week. When I am at these appointments I tell them that I am going to be a pitbull during this process. I explained how ready I am to have the LB as a tool to get my life back. I give them fair warning about how I will be aggressive with my follow-ups. They tell me it can take up to a week to get the reports ready...I say "Fair enough", but expect daily phone calls after that time. Some have chuckled at me and others have given me "A LOOK". My advice to you...be aggressive!

      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.
