Banded today1/19/11



Recommended Posts

I was banded today, 1/19/2011,in San Antonio by Dr. Wright at the True Results clinic. I had such an amazing experience! I arrived at 8am and signed some paper work, and was immediatly taken back to get prep for surgery. The nursing staff was so friendly and the doctor came by several times to make sure all my questions were answered. My surgery was scheduled for 10am and actually started at 10:30, I thought that was pretty god timing. I remember waking up in recovery at about noon and was on my easy home by 1pm.

I have (knock on wood) had no gas pains but the puncture wounds are very tender. I have been able to hold down liquids and have no feeling of hunger. I think I am off to a great start.

      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.
