Just Kidding!! I got banded on Tuesday the 25th as planned, actually earlier b/c the dr had a cancellation, but I'm feeling pretty good. My homegirl came down to take care of me for a couple days, and my friends and family (even the ones who weren't in favor of the band) have been pretty awesome.

I didn't even need the pain meds they gave me. The most annoying thing has been the gas pain but the incisions seem to be healing up nicely so I'll be happy when I'm really up and about again, and can get into a serious exercise routine.

Hope everyone else is doing well, too.

Thanks! I'm doing a little better today; a lot less gassy and i went for a 20 minute walk with my dad too. it was a little hard, but not too painful. the most annoying thing has been being a side-sleeper forced onto my back. every time i want to get up i feel like there should be someone behind me going "turrrtle, turrrtle" lol :rolleyes:

      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.
