Hi KRP,

I was banded on Sept. 2. I've lost about 40 pounds so far. I'm at a 7.2 in an 11cc band, and I have a fill appointment for next week. I'm not at my sweet spot just yet, but I think I'm getting close.

I don't regret getting the band for even a second. I was taking 8 different pills a day for diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure. Now I take none. All of my recent tests came back normal. My father died at my age of a massive heart attack, and I was heading that same direction. But now I think I'm going to be just fine, and I look forward to the future.

      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?
