Hi my name is Jeni and i live in Australia, Melbourne. I started my lap journey in 2009. My surgery was performed on 10th Sept 2010 and I'm happy to say that it went wonderfully.

Dr Ahmad Aly was my surgeon and he was wonderful. He was very matter of fact, answered all my questions and made sure I were always comfortable. Not to forget Shelley & Tracey, Surgery went well and i went home that next day. I was on liquid diet for 6 weeks and that i must say was tough, moved onto pureed foods then slowly went on to normal foods. I was weighed the day of surgery at 101 kilo's and i am now 89 kilo's and doing well. I have had many experiences that may differ to others and i would be very interested in hearing your experience tho. I have found sticking to rules you cant go to wrong. chew chew chew lol lol lol, In the last 2 months or so i have had an up set stomach which appears and then disappears on the third day. What i am lacking is motivation for the exercise "naughty". I am looking forward to chatting and learning from other bandies about there experiences so feel free to chat.

      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.
