About To Have Sugery In Two Days!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am new here and I'm so glad I found this sight. My name is Ruffian and I am due to have the Lap band done this Friday. I am new to the Jacsonville are and would like to talk to some of the Florida people but it said I needed a password. Any kind of info and or advice I am all ears. Thanks for reading.

Wow, you are so close to start your new journey. I have to wait 13 days for mine but I'm so ready. I will also go Lapband and I hope to use this tool as best as I can. I'm tired of a big yo-yo that I've been on for years. I have all my food products ready for the first month and 6 months of chewable Vitamins.

Best wishes on your band day, Ruffian. Check in and tell us how you're feeling. Lots of experts and forum members who ahve gone through this already to assist all of us. All you have to do is ask.

Good luck to all of you. I have been banded over 2 yrs and it was the best decision I have ever made. Have patience, ask lots of questions and follow the band rules.

Welcome

Wendy

Welcome and congratulations Ruffian! Wishing you a smooth recovery! My surgery is in 4 days and this site has been so helpful! You will soon find the members on this site to be encouraging, reassuring and inspirational. And there's no sugar-coating here :) I've learned so much from the experiences of others who already been banded. Congrats again on your big day. God Bless you.

      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.
