Hi everyone I'm just starting out . Finaly have made the choice that I want to go throw with this .. I have a lot of anxieties that I'm fighting like what if I can not control my emotions with out my comferting food , being put under is a big fear of mine and I also have anxiety and I finaly found meds that work and I'm hoping I can still take them afterwards.. I think I'm getting to ahead of myself because I don't even know if my soon to be new insurance will cover the procedure.

whew !! breathe, honey..............breathe !!!!! take a deep breath.................... there , muchhhhhhh better !!! I m glad you made the decision to get healthy, and hopefully your ins. will help you. from what ive heard , taking your regular meds afterwards isnt a prob., going under is easy, and you taking the eating issues one day at a time. the band doesnt take away your craving , you have to make good choices for yourself. the nice thing is the band limits the amount of food you can eat, so if you fill up on healthy foods, theres little room for junk. that being said, you'll get lots of support here,so welcome aboard !

      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.
