I have done great with the band and had very lil problems with it the last visit i had a fill and it has kept me on the straight and narrow now i can tell when to stop eating before i felt like i was eating still to much and then after the fill i can tell right away that im done. the only problem i have is that i got a rash a few days after surgury and it will not go away i have went to my reg doctor and she does not know what it is and so now i have to go see a specialist to find out what is going on, in hopes it is not a problem with the band. any how glad to read all the comments im sure it will help!!!

Hi, welcome to our forum. Congratulations on your weight loss! I have learned a lot and have received a lot from the group here.

Hoping the same happens for you! Drop in often. I lived in Richardson for a few years in elementary school and have family and

friends all over the Dallas area.

Hiya, Where is your "rash" located? If it's in the folds of your skin, its more than likely yeast.... rub on some monistat....

I had it too, it was awful.

      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.
