New To Forum, Banded Since 2006



Recommended Posts

I am new to this forum, but was banded in Mexico in 2006 by Dr. Kuri. I lost a LOT of weight in the first 2 years, now have regained 1/3 back following a different health crisis and being over filled for too long.... Now I am finally where I want to be fill wise again (I think) and hoping it will start working for me again and maybe find people in Seattle area to network with.

I think you will like this site. There is alot of great information and support. I am sorry to hear about the regain, however, congrats on the major success. Just look at it as a bump in the road or a minor Detour. You will get back on track, you just have to reset your habits and mind as well as getting the band to work for you again (which is sounds like you have).

Nice to hear from you.

Sairy30 - I'm not in Seattle, in fact, I am in Florida. But congratulations on your return to band-life and glad to hear everything seems to be right with you and your band. This is an excellent site and although we are spread throughout the country, there is always someone here to talk with. Good luck and please stay in touch.

      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?
