| Whipper Snapper |  I've got a Date with my Surgeon Tomorrow! wooooyeahhh! Well, tomorrow is the day that I meet my surgeon. Two weeks I have waited for this day to come. Im kinda excited! I know that I should have my list of questions for him but in all hinesty, I have none as ALL my questions have been answered by the board, either by me asking or someone else. Does anyone have any tips for me...what do I do now that I have no questions anymore lol!??? Really the only question that I have is how long?? How long before we can do this operation...thats about it. Any tips for me out there? Is there anything I should say...or not say...? Thanks for any input  |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | My advice is, even if all your questions have been answered, take the original list of your questions, and see what your surgeon says. Although the basic method and schedule are the same for any surgeon, the finer points are often different, so you need to know exactly what your surgeon will require. ((((((((HUGS)))))))) May your appointment go well.

| Whipper Snapper | I have an update! Well, I met the surgeon today, he was so lovely! He explained the 3 procedures that he does, (had pictures and diagrams too!) He spoke about a procedure called sleeve gastroplasty, which I knew nothing about, but it does seem much less invasive(lapriscopically, the RNY he does open incision) , less complications, no dumping or stricture, 0% mortality in high risk group! Generally lower risk advantages. I will definately have to read up on this. But he did give me the option of choosing. Hmmm..his secretary says 3-4 yr waiting list, surgeon told me "about 2 years". I have no idea what the wait i lol! Dang! |
