Hi everyone.

I'm new to this forum though not new to banding. I was banded in January 2012. Since that time, I've lost 70 lbs. I have another 50 or so lbs that I'd like to lose.

I live in Canada and was banded in Canada. I was a regular on another WLS community but I found the site too restrictive - we weren't able to vent or express our frustrations. The company would block the postings. I believe it is when you are frustrated that you need the most support from others.

My weight loss has stalled/slowed over the last few months. I feel like I'm back on track again but you know how easy it is to fall off the wagon. It's time to get this weight off now, once and for always.

Anyway, that's a little about me. I'm looking forward to meeting 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
