I was banded on 4/24/12 and I have 4 small ones and one bigger one that's about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. The little ones don't bother me

But the bigger one hurts quite a bit still.

I am not sure if what I see is the lap band itself or the port thru my skin..the bump of it and can feel an object..is this supposed to be like that or an I still just swollen..banded 5/16/12 ? My stitches just came out so I am not sure what is normal ..had it done in Mexico so I have no one local to call. Do have a scheduled fill at a bariatric surgical center on the 18th of June but not sure they will take me as a patient..

I have 4 small ones and one large (~2 inches). Plus I have 4 other scars on my abdomen from having my gallbladder removed the year before.

      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.
