I had my final appointment with the doctor today, to schedule the lap band surgery. We set the date for the 11th of May and to start the liquid diet tomorrow. Then the doctor tells me he has been scheduled for jury duty for the 10th and is hoping to get out of it on the 10th, but if he is unable to get out of the jury duty then I will have to stay on the liquid diet another week and we will reschedule for the next week. I kept the May 11th appointment, and now have my fingers crossed!! What would you have done? Would you have kept it or rescheduled for the 16th??

i have wanted this for sooo long (5 years) that i would probably reschedule it. it's only 5 days later. and i know i would be emotionally wrecked to have it cancelled and probably go on a binge eating! ('i'm a stress/emotional eater. ok i eat cuz the sun is shining. lol) no seriously i would reschedule and avoid the possible disappointment. just my 2 cents!:rolleyes:

      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.
