Hi. Kyle here. I'm 4 to 6 weeks out from my roux en y surgery. I'm excited. Scared. Apprehensive. Determined and driven...lol

I'm in illinois but am willing and wanting to offer you my ear. Advice and mainly my time to listen.

I’m hoping to be approved and have surgery this year — live in the Bronx and surgery in NYC.

Hi!

I'm glad to have found this thread. I am in the planning stage and definitely need some advice if any is available. I'm in the BX. Anyone have any tips on what to ask my doctor or if I should just go straight to the surgeon?

[yuzul 5]

I went to my primary first and she has a list of surgeons that she worked with before or other patients used before. That is where I got my recommendations of surgeons. However, if you know some surgeons already you could go straight to them since every hospital/program/insurance is a bit different

[MandM1188 28]

Bxnaija: I messaged you. Go to your PCP AND set up consultations with surgeons ASAP

Update: I will no longer get the gastric bypass surgery. I am going to get the duodenal switch surgery. YouTube it if you haven’t heard of it. It’s a great tool to have especially someone with over 100lbs to lose like myself. 🥰😍
