Hi Bree,

Congratulations!! My name is Jenn, this is my first visit to this site. I have not been banded yet, but have a surgery date of 8/3/2010. I am getting really nervous, even though its still several weeks away. Any words of encouragement/advice?:confused:

Welcome back ! Ppl here are very willing to assist you in any way they can. I ve learned the most from this gang, nothing to stupid to ask so ask away .......... What I find amazeing is that when you are truely needing to get back with your Dr. on certian issues no one attempts to replace your Dr's advice. I remember a couple of days after my surgery late at nite I went to our chat room for quick advice, I was so kindly reminded of my liquid lortab was awaiting for use ? hahahaha they were very gentle

      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?
