Getting banded on 1/27



Recommended Posts

Hello,

My name is Linda and I am from Los Angeles, Ca. So... I will be getting banded this thursday! Yikes!:blink: Im quite nervous, but I try not to think about it too much! I have started my liquid diet today! Hope everything turns out well. I try not to think about it too much but my whole family and close friends keep on asking me everyday if I am ready for my surgery! :rolleyes: I have no idea what to answer cuz im full of mixed emotions at this point. I am nervouse because of the whole surgery thing. but i am excited cuz i cant wait to start loosing weight!!! Did anyone feel the same way I did just before surgery? I hope im not the only crazy one out there! :)

Hi Linda!! I think you and I were posting our introductions at the same time. Wow, the 27th is only two days!! I am scheduled for Feb 9th, so I'll be watching to see how things go for you. I feel the same way you do, very nervous, but excited. I am resigned to the fact that this is really the only thing that will work long term for me, and I want to be healthy for my son, so it will all be worth it in the end. Good luck on your surgery, and keep us posted!!

      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.
