I was banded today through SWLC in Vancouver By Dr Mitchell he was great the whole surgical team was wonderful!!! I'm on bed rest for 24 hrs I'm not in too much pain but I'm definitely uncomfortable!!! And very sleepy!!! Dr said it went great!! So now I guess I let the healing take its course. :)

I did not but its probably from the anesthia the day of I slept alot the 2nd night was when I had the gas pain and they did not tell me I could take gas x when I did I felt better right away. Try and sleep the headache might go away. The anesthia takes a bit to get out of system. Again gd luck

      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.
