hello everyone, i am setup to have the lap band procedure done in a couple of weeks in dallas texas with dr. wade barker has anyone had good or bad experiences with this dr? please let me know i'm very interested to know upfront. also on the fills what do they cost on average? i live about 100 miles from dallas but the small town i;m from doesn't know anything about lap band so you know how that goes. sounds like you all have had some very wonderful experiences as well as some bad ones. so any advice or info would be greatly appreciated and would be alot of help to me. thank you all so much and good luck to all. hope to hear from you all...

I would have said exactly the same thing! Read the old threads as well as the new ones. You'll find lots of valuable information on here, just for taking the time to read it. Good Luck!

      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?
