We just got back from our trip to Disneyworld: I had posted that I was scared that they would make me get another seat: well, that wasnt even an issue: the arm seats went down no problem, I didnt need an extension this time and I was even able to really tighten the belt. I also only got stuck once the whole trip! It was very enlightening to see the different choices that I make with the band: I would have eaten soooo badly if not for my new BFF!

Thanks for all of your tips and encouragement!

I am taking a long trip to Europe. I just had my first fill and I'm leaving next Friday. Did you notice a difference in the band while you were flying? I, too, am worried about the seat thing. I've lost 23 lbs but it's not enough to eliminate the extension. I've very concerned about flying.

That's wonderful!!! Congratulations!

I'm scared to death myself. I'm flying out Monday to San Diego for a conference. I haven't flown in 5 years and although I've never had to use a seat belt extender, I'm scared I will now.

      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?
