Nervous, Need information on lap-band.



Recommended Posts

The wait is good! Use it wisely and read, read, read.

You are getting some great info from successful people here but make sure you read about the failures as well.

Make you know everything you need to before undergoing surgery. The band is not a magic wand that makes you lose weight. It is merely a tool.

Many fail because they don't their tool correctly. Read their stories and try not to make the same mistakes they made.

Good luck!!

      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.
