I have Hypoglycemia, Even before banding I was told to eat 5 SMALL meals a day never large meals. But the band has helped me a lot I eat healthy now which is great for the Hypoglycemia. You shouldn't have a problem as long as you follow the proper diet. The liquid phase was a little tough but it's doable. I have good restriction now so sometimes, well most of the time I'm to tight in the morning to eat and that's the meal I seem to need the most but I grab a Protein Shake first thing and wait awhile until I loosen up to do Breakfast which usually consist of a Protein Bar and have no problem with lunch or dinner. Just follow your Doctors orders and I'm sure you'll be fine.

      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.
