Glad I found this...

Greetings!

I was banded on 12/2/2010. I am so glad I found this forum! I am looking forward to meeting many new, supportive friends. Right now I am nervous, scared, and anxious. I am so excited to begin this next chapter of my life! My surgeon was Dr. Burry and he was incredible. I have my first fill appointment scheduled for 1/6/2011. My weight before surgery was 284 and I am now down to 272!

I decided to have the lap-band to of course lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle. I also did this because I have a 3 yr. old daughter and want to be active with her. I look forward to meeting you all and sharing this journey together!

Congratulations, I was banded on 12/3/2010. I feel the same way you do. I am both excited and nervous about my new lifestyle. How are you feeling physically?

      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?
