My wife saw my username a while back, she felt so bad, she said "aw, is that how you feel about yourself, youre not a loser". I laughed and told her I picked that name because Im going to lose alot of weight. Btrieger you are right about that. Good luck tommorrow, I know everything is going to go well for you, I cant wait to hear back after surgery. Sakirby, I think that story hits home with alot of people. Thanks again for the responses.

Hey LoserBob, When is your band date? Did you have to delay it because of the kidneys?

Thanks for the kind words folks.

I was only at the hospital 4 4 hours and more than half of that was laying in prep watch Private Benjamin.

Absolutely no pain!! Just a little discomfort from gas.

My surgery is March 10th. The hospital called and said they needed to reschedule. I went and did all kind of bloodwork and urine test. Today All the pain is gone. I remembered last week I was wrestling with my son and he drove his head into that area so I suspect thats what it was from.

      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.
