Hi Susan, watch out for my brother, he's a cop in Ft Worth. I'm the DH to MsJoy (the banded one). If you have any questions, just ask away. Someone here will be glad to answer it, I assure you.

Hi Susan,

I live in South Grand Prairie, right where Grand Prairie and Arlington meet at I-20. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut on March 7th so I know how you're feeling right about now! Welcome to Lapbandtalk, it was (and still is) a GREAT resource for me. Do your nerves a favor and don't spend too much time on the complications forum. It's nice to know what kinds of things can go wrong but it definitely rattled my nerves - I worried WAY too much about the surgery. You'll do great.

There are a group of lapband people meeting tomorrow at the Jason's Deli at 635 and MacArthur Blvd. That's tomorrow, tomorrow, Saturday March 25th at 11:00 am! You should come along, have lunch, and meet some other DFW bandsters.

Good luck to you on your weight loss journey.

Susan;

My wife and I are looking at Dr Joya (for her) so I'd like to know how your procedure goes...

      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.
