Hi:

I'm in Norwood, MA. I was banded July 07. I love my band. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to try to help. This forum is great. I didn't find it until after I was banded and it's been a site that I visit daily since then.

Where are you being banded? I was banded at Caritas Norwood Hospital.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

Hi:

I did get nervous about anesthesia, etc. before my surgery. Then I remembered that carrying around 324 pounds for much longer seems to be way more risky than any minor surgery.

Good luck with your surgery on 11th!

      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.
