MORE Abkin/Bertha support group meetings



Recommended Posts

Due to popular demand, the wise folks at the offices of Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons have added another LapBand support group to their monthly schedule! Now we'll be meeting twice a month, on the second and last Wednesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. The meeting is on the same floor as the office, and pre-bandsters are MORE than welcome!

Modesty prohibits me from divulging the identity of one of the co-moderators :) :nervous , but the other one is our own Alexra!! Let's hear it for Alexra!! :clap2: :clap2: :whoo:

I'll be at the next one!

I missed the last one, it was rainy and it really flares my Fibromyalgia up.

Is it okay to bring your partner? My boyfriend has some concerns about the surgery.

To my knowledge they should start this month, check the http://www.advancedlaparoscopicsurgeons.com/ web page to make sure. I will also speak with Alexandra as time gets closer and with Linda the Nurse in his office to be 100% sure. And Leenerbups, of course being your boyfriend, the more the merrier, lots of people bring their loved ones with them... whats a support meeting without support from them too.

      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?
