Newbie from Phoenix with questions

Hello Everyone!

I am new to this site. I have Aetna insurance and had to follow a 3 month plan for approval. I've done everything they required and my doctor's office (True Results) submitted the paperwork on 11/17/09. My surgery is tentatively scheduled for 12/17/09.

My questions are:

- Has anyone had experience with True Results / Dr. Nirmul?

- Has anyone had any issues with Aetna not approving the surgery after their requirements have been met?

- What should I expect the first week to 10 days after surgery?

Thanks for any feedback... have a good weekend!

well hi there and welcome. This is a wonderful site to be on. You can use the search feature to find threads relating to your doctor and to your after care.

There is a wealth of information already on here, READY, SET, READ!

If not for this site I am sure I would not have had the success I am so proud of thus far.

Again welcome and explore. Lana

Dr. Nirmul placed my band on June 18 of this year. I've written about my experiences with True Results a few times on my blog, if you want to check that out (sorry, don't have time to type it all out right now!)

      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?
