I had my first visit today to begin my journey! I am lucky that I live in Cleveland and have lots of access to the Cleveland Clinic. My surgeon was great, very nice - thorough, answered all my questions and after learning about my history and concerns, we decided that the bypass was the best option for me. I was surprised as I went into it convinced that I wanted the sleeve but he obviously had much more knowledge than I do. Now I meet with the nutritionist and psychologist next week! He said to expect surgery around July/August!

Good Luck! It is exciting to take control and do what is best for your health! ?

Congrats on your journey! I was sleeved up at Cleveland Clinic last year - they’re awesome!

I had my first visit yesterday and I am so ready to begin this journey. I’m tired of years of the yo yo dieting, pills and such. The whole team is awesome and I am blessed to be in good hands. We are expecting surgery around July/ August.

So exciting! The process seems to go quickly once it gets moving along! It’s good that you have access to the Cleveland clinic! I was actually just looking into weekend getaways in Ohio! I’m about 40mins from Erie PA. I’m hoping to be scheduled for May ?. Keep us posted on your journey!

Cleveland Clinic is one of the most respected in the world. You are lucky to live there and have access to such great care. It sounds like you have a great surgeon and confidence in him. I'm so glad your visit was a positive one. Congrats o surgery, it'll be here in no time!
