Valorie,

Welcome to the site. I use to read this site every minute of every day when I was waiting for my band. Sometimes it would make me feel excited and other times I would get scared. However, I check about every 3 days now that I am banded and doing well. I love my band. The first month I was not happy b/c i was hungery and not in the green zone or losing. But I have lost 30 or so lbs now and I feel and look better at 2.5 months out. I feel like I am in the green zone and it is nice to eat little, feel satisfied, and not think of food. You will get alot of support on the site.

Best wishes on your journey. It is a big leap of faith but a good one to make.

Katy

      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?
