First Appointment Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I meet with the Bariatric Nurse... the first step in the process (well, second if you count the seminar).

Im very excited but very pukey at the same time. As a result of my nerves I want to make a list of questions to ask. Unfortnatly the same pukeiness is giving me a brain cramp and can't think of all the questions I have had in the past.

What questions did everyone ask on thier 1st visit?

Thanks for the help!

I have my first appointment with the Dr. tomorrow too. Like you, I am really nervous and hope I can remember to ask some of the things I've been thinking about. There is so much to this lapband thing and this is my second appointment I've made to see the Dr. I chickened out 3 weeks ago. I guess what is really motivating me the most is my youngest daughter. She is getting married next March and I would so like to lose 50Lbs by then!!

Good luck tomorrow and I'm going to try and follow you here and keep up with how you're doing. Btw, if I'm not beening too nosy, how much weight do you need to lose? Where do you live? I live in Jacksonville, Fl. and am going to Dr. Cywes at jacksonville surgical center. I have 2 friends that have gone to him and both are doing really well.

Again, good luck and try not to be too nervous about everything, lol Look who's talking!!:thumbup:

      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.
