When did you have surgery?

Go to your surgeon and get a fill if necessary. Start logging your food for a couple weeks than make an appointment with a nutrionist and bring your food journal. This way they can see exactly what you're eating and tell you where you need to make changes.

Remember, the band is a tool not a magic wand. You still very much have to do the work and make healthy lifestyle changes for a lifetime- otherwise it's just a piece of costly stomach jewelry. The band will not work until you do.

Good luck.

The band won't stop you from buying ice cream or eating it. Just don't even go down the ice cream aisle.

Try a 3-day pre-op diet, you'll clean out, lose a bit, and wipe the slate clean

How many fills have you had. If you are vomitting it sounds like the band is too tight. The bad contrary to popular opinion is not mean to STOP you from eating anything. If you band is so tight you can't keep down solid Protein. Get a small unfil. This will allow you to eat healthy food and not realy on ice cream for your calories.

      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.
