My original first appointment with a bariatric doctor was February 26th. I received a call from his office today asking me if I would like to move that to Monday, next week! Certainly a no-brainer! I said yes!

When I went to the seminar back in December, the doctor said that because I have gastric paresis, this qualifies me with no high BMI or co-morbidities. Has anyone else had this surgery that had gastric paresis? Were you still expected to lose the 10% first over a period of months?

I don't but I do have a BMI of 35 but having diabetes type 2 qualified me. I have lost 10 lbs in 11 days since my Jan 9 bypass

I have gastroparesis but have to have a bunch of tests before my PCP will even release my medical records to my surgeon for insurance approval. So I'm kind of at a stand still now. Psych eval went GREAT though! (:

I hope once I have surgery the gastroparesis won't be such a problem!

Good luck!
