Oh my gosh, I thought I would never get to post my surgery date. But finally!!!! Two weeks from now I finally get banded. Oh, I'm so excited (and scared and nervous). I cleaned out my cabinets today (because I'll be on vacation for a week before the surgery).

I have to dust off my books from class. I don't know what to pack the cabinets and fridge with.

Congratulations! A new year and a new you. How exciting! Don't be nervous, it's not a difficult surgery to go through and the recovery is easy. Most people just complain about gas pain which can be minimized with some gentle walking and gas-x. Don't worry, be happy! Do be ready to be patient though, a lifestyle change doesn't come easily and losing 1-2 pounds a week can seem sooo slow. It's a good rate though and it mounts up! Your band will keep you from backsliding and binging and by next New Years Eve, you'll be in a little black dress!

Good luck on your journey!

I get banded on the 27th. I'm sooooo nervous and scared too!!! I had to undergo some extra medial tests... and then all of a sudden all the test came back OK. I just the call about being banded this past Friday. I just was expecting it all to happen so fast. I sorta had my mind set on being disappointed and have to wait til Jan or Feb. Surprise Surprise and a Very Merry Christmas present!!!! Starting my clear liquid pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm nervous about that too. I just have to wrap my brain around this whole thing ~ quickly!!!.

Good Luck on the 29th!!! I'll be checking to see how you did here on the blog! :-)

I'm sure we're both going to bring in the New Year with JOY and HOPE!!!!

      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.
