Hello,

I am pre-op. My stomach is turning as I go through all the websites and posts about the lap band surgery. I started this journey three years ago. I went to the seminar and learn about the lap band. I scheduled my psych evaluation, but did not go through the surgery because I was not sure this was the best decision for me. There is so much to learn about this surgery and so much to change. I am ready for the change, but still kind of worried.

Here is to a brand new me.

My decision is made. No turning back.

That is awesome. Good luck and keep positive! It will get worse before it gets better, but trust me. That "better" that is coming is absolutely awesome!

Thank you for you offer to help. I will ask a lot of questions. I am so worried about the port. That was my hold up three years ago.

      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.
