Hi everyone! I'm new here. I recently decided that weight loss surgery is the best choice for me. In my Quest in finding as much as info as possible I came across this forum. Everyone seems so nice and positive as well as full of information.

I recently contacted a surgeon who mailed me a questionerre I had to fill out and they will contact me with an appointment once the doctor has looked over my info. It feels like its taking forever! I just want to get the ball rolling.

I look forward to hearing everyone's story.

Hi ladies, You're right about this forum, a lot of good people with great advice. MIS73 being one of them.

I'm at the end of my 6mths insurance required diet and hope to be banded in Sept. Been following LBT all that time and feel I have gotten a great education. Good Luck!

Welcome! I'm new too! Today is the first day of my Pre-Op Diet and I am feeling hopeful! Also, check out Missy's profile who posted right above me! VERY inspirational! She has lost 136 pounds since January! OMGooooodness......That is AwEsOmE!!

I've "met" some really wonderful and insightful people on this website - I'm very grateful for their inspiration and encouragement and I have set an intention to be as much of a blessing to others, as I learn and experience more and am able to share any words of wisdom. As of right now, I'm sorta in Kindergarten (lol) :P

      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?
