4Yrs Out May Have Slip



Recommended Posts

Ok so I had lap band surgery March 26 2008. I lost over 150 lbs total from highest.

I've gone through a divorce after being married 20 yrs. my mom died in 2010 and last May my 17 yr old daughter moved 2 hours away to live with her dad and has nothing to do with me. After us being close since the day she was born. With all this going on I've gained back 46lbs. From eating sweets, being depressed and not exercising. I just recently started to have acid reflux and am scared my band has slipped. I'm praying it hasn't. True Results whom I went through for my surgery is no longer in Atlanta so now I need to go to the dr but trying to figure out where to go. Until I figure that out I'm back to eating like I was suppose to be. High Protein shakes, chewing slowly, no sweets and stop eating after 20 mins. And exercising. I just need some encouragement. Thanks

LYNN,

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH A GREAT DEAL IN THE PAST 4 YEARS...I THINK YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, STARTING TO EAT HEALTHIER, AND SLOW DOWN WHILE EATING...JUST GET BACK TO BASICS AND SEE IF THAT DOESN'T HELP....YOU DIDN'T SAY IF YOU ARE THROWING UP??? THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE SIGNS....JUST TRY TO EAT SMALL AMOUNTS AND KINDA START BACK OVER...I HOPE YOU WILL FEEL BETTER...

      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?
