I am being banded tomorrow. Well, I have made it this far; the 10-day pre-op liquid diet and the process before surgery has taught me several things: 1) What real hunger feels like, 2) that I am an emotional eater, and 3) food should not be used for emotional support. Emotional issues are not hunger issues. I will not die from feeling hunger. I guess I am a little nervous about what it will be like when I am banded. I wonder how my life will change as a result of the weight loss. This is a major change and I do feel the seriousness of my decision. I have never known what it's like to be of a normal weight. I will have fun rediscovering myself and it all begins tomorrow.

      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.
