Hi! My name is Brigid and I am 34 years old. I was just banded on January 7th after a very long 5 month pre op surgical process! I am happy to finally have it done and look forward to re-gaining my life back! Hope to get to know y'all! ;)

Welcome! I am pretty new here myself and I was born and raised in the good ol ATX up until I was 17. Its always been my home though. Im so happy for you! How are things so far? I just got my surgery date yesterday for Feb 10th so assuming all my financial and medical ducks are in a row I should be good to go. Please feel free to contact me if you need to talk.;)

Thanks ash23! I hope everything goes well for you and that the date is set in stone for you real soon! I haven't been in ATX too long - just a couple of years. I came from Vegas so it is different! Hopefully I will be able to get out more real soon and enjoy what it has to offer! Feel free to ask any questions you may have - I may be new here but I am not far from having been banded so may have answers you may need! Good luck! ;)

Who did your surgery?

I went through SouthWest Bariatric and my surgeon was Dr. Stephen Clark and he was wonderful. It doesn't even look like I will have much scarring either.

Who is your surgeon?

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
