About to be banned!



Recommended Posts

Hey! I have read quiet a few of the post on here as I was researching Lap Band. There are so many inspirational stories! You all have definitely helped me in making my decision to get the procedure done. So- On May 6, I go in for my initial consultation. Because I am paying out of pocket, the finance guy said I would be put on the "Fast tract" and have my surgery within 10 days of my first visit. The day of my appointment, I am going to get a private seminar, and teaching classes to go over the diet, and make sure Lap Band is right for me. I am very excited about all of this, and at the same time, slightly nervous. I think I am more nervous that losing weight is going to change my personality too much, than I am of the actual surgery. I am afraid that the person I am now, isn't going to like the person I am going to become (if that makes any sense at all) I know it is going to change me. I want it to- But not to the point that I wouldn't recognise myself (personality wise) It kind-of has me worried. I have a friend that promises to keep me in check on that though! Lol- No big heads allowed! Ha ha-

So anyhow- If everything goes alright and as planned, I will "Be banned" in less than a month. I know it's going to be hard work, but it is hard work I am ready for.

Thank you all for your awesome stories. Hopefully, I will have one to add to the mix in a year or so!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
