Looking for a Band Buddy in the Bronx



Recommended Posts

Hey all!

So, I was banded in August of 2009, so I am approx. a lil over 5 months post op. I always thought I would be really involved on here and on youtube with other bandsters, but I have yet to accomplish that. I would really love to have someone close by that is going through or even went through this process, just a band buddy of sorts. I'm super supportive and I'd love to root ya on! Been feeling a little lonely in this process lately is all.

Anywho, feel free to contact me if your interested in making a local bandster pal :)

Hey everyone I am also for the Bronx.. I was banded November 2008. That was a very exciting day for me. Needless to say the band did not work for me. I am NOT upset a little sad at times because I had set goals and dreams. I am still working with my doctor to see other options. I have not been on this site in a very long time and the only reason why I can back today is I need a little support from my lap band family. I hope everyone is doing good with there journey and hope to be talking to any of you soon….

      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.
