I'm required to go to 8 support meetings in the first year after my surgery so I'll be with the "chew crew" for a while. Hopefully, the next meeting will run closer to "normal".

Did they say that they did it on a regular basis or just to have a taste of steak. I can understand wanting to taste the steak without swallowing it since it is such an unfriendly band food. I've done this to get a taste of something that I can't eat with my band. It's an easy way to solve my craving.

But I completely agree, if it's an everyday habit, then they need help figuring out why they aren't willing to eat.

Congratulations to everyone on their weightloss so far!! I am extremly excited to see my transformation everyday..

Thanks goodness for those who are honest and can answer inquiring mind's questions. Guilty. I've done it less than a handful of times but with very minimal food ie...a cube of cheese, or a piece of lettuce. Again, it is just about getting the taste and being able to chew. I can see however how this can become a bad habit and how gross it really is. Before you know it your chewpitting - thats the best i could come up with - a whole McDonald's value meal. ..

So for those that are pre op right now, good luck on your journey. I lost 19 lbs on my clear 5 day preop.

      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.
