hahahaha, I would have been happy either way as long as either Philly or Dallas was out of the playoffs. I must admit though I was rooting for Dallas because my brother in law is an Eagle fan and we never root for each other lol

so you were banded about a month before I was, how have you found it to be? Have you had any problems or set backs at all?

I'm doing great thanks! I have lost a total of 48lbs so far (it may be a bit more but haven't been on a scale) but having fun trying to figure what to eat and how much. Gave me a reason to get back into the gym which is nice. I have had 2 fills so far and my next appointment is in Feb, dont know if I will need another fill then or not but looking forward to another weigh in.

      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.
