I just wanted to say Hello!!

I am a military wife and the mother of a beautiful, almost 2 year old daughter. My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 13th. I am scared, but ready. I want to be a good example for my daughter, and I want to be the best me I can be. Diets and exercise just haven't done it for me, but I look forward to a new start as soon as I get my band!

Welcome to the journey Korilynn...this is a great site for information and support. Good luck to you as you begin your new life. I can't say its been easy, but getting the Lapband saved my life and changed it forever. Its helped change my 3 grown childrens habits...so hopefully they will never have to face the same problems I had prior to surgery. If you have any questions this is a great forum. Best Wishes, keep us informed of your progress!! ~Christy :frown:

Hi Korilynn! I'm on my way soon too (11/23), and I'm nervous and excited and mostly nervous. :frown: My husband has just started asking lots of questions, so I know he is getting used to the idea of it all.

Good luck, your surgery day will be here before you know it!

      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?
