sorry, I can't take the poll. It's been so long I don't remember. I hope those newly banded will vote and help you out :)

I did take the poll. I said my head hunger came back at 1 week because I was sooooo bored of broth. I was soooo happy to move to puree Soups.< /p>

I was actually hungry when I woke up from surgery but there was no answer for that :D

The head hunger was what i had to work on before the surgery. So after the surgery i was content with what i had at whatever stage. i am not going to say i was not anxious about advancing to each phase but i can say that i was satisified with the amount i ate. my Protein supplement really helped during this time. i added the powder to everything. Soup, broth, milk, etc.

I have a friend thinking about the lapband and i told him the head hunger is the hardest part to work through and conquer. I got really hungry one day not long ago. I could not get enough to eat. but i kept my composure and drank me a Protein milk and the craving passed.

Great questions to ask. Some times we just wish we had a book and everyone had the same situation. But all is different. Good luck on your search!:D

      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?
