Hi everyone, my name is Jamie and I am new here. I am hoping to be banded in the spring. I am super excited. I wish my hubby was as excited, but hopefully he will come around. Any advice on do's and don'ts or anything would be fantastic. I love reading stories about everyone's experience.

I'm sure he will. Even if he doesn't there isn't much I can do to help him at this point. He just refuses to listen and accept it....

Hi, new too. I just got banded on the 16th. Insurance was super quick and I had the surgery before I even knew what was happening. I was surprised but happily. This surgery is about you and it is your husbands loss to not go thru your experience with you. Just focus on you and hopefully you have friends or some other support system. Good luck on everything.

      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?
