Hey everyone...:thumbup:

It is because of this forum that i had the nerve and motivation to call and sign up for a seminar. yey! so thanks to you all!!

I'm excited, nervous, anxious, and determined.. all at once.

i have seriously tried every diet. just like everyone else. and i am at the point where i have done what i can. I just want to be healthy. i just want to run... and run.. and keep running without feeling like i am going to die. i want to ride my bike and not have to inflate the tires all the time.. and ride for more than 30 min before my butt is aching and my legs are screaming.. LOL. i have the need and want to do more... i know this will be a life changing decision. and i cannot wait.

I first called Dr Arif Ahmad (Mather Hospital, NY) because i see him on tv and read a few good stories.. but then on the radio i heard of stopobesityforlife.com. Dr Garber. he makes only 1 incision.. so i decided to go to his seminar tonight with my hubby. I can't wait.

so i guess from here.. after the seminar.. i will find out the next step. i already know my insurance covers it..:thumbdown:

I wish you all good luck!

It sounds like you're on top of your research, and that's the best way to get started. Good luck on finding the right surgeon, and I hope you find tonight's seminar very informative.

      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.
