Hi! I, too, tried to get in some favorite foods that I knew I would have to give up in the future. But I didn't gain to much. I had my surgery May 26th and have lost 25 pounds so far. I had my first fill last week. I wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery. Good Luck!

Welcome, I am going to be 62. I had my lapband done in Oct 2009. To date I have lost 50 lbs post op, but 35 lbs on the 6 month diet my insurance required. My PCP advised me on my last apt that all my blood came back ok. No more high cholesterol and any other obesity signs. I know that it was not a"piece of cake" but I am moving on through. I am 7 lbs from my surgeons goal. Good luck to you!:confused:

      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.
