I think the first month is always the roughest. You go through so many emotions, I had the blues that sense off loss. I agree that this is the month to heal your body, rest, take it slow and let your body adjust to your new stomach and the incisions have to heal as well. Get plenty of hydration. Take this time to look up recipes for lapband, high Protein Shake recipes, I didn't realize in the beginning, I thought I had to be losing the week I was out of surgery...the real weight loss begins a month to even the second year!!!! Hang in there it will all come together in the big picture!

you are still down 21 lbs. Get yourself back in the game. Check what you are eating. You still have to have your first fill...right?

      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.
