It's tempting to think that any illness, ache etc is band-related, and while your fellow bandsters are sympathetic to this, your dr is best to advise.

Good luck.

Those symptoms could be caused by a lot of things. It's always best to consulte your doctor. But, question I would ask in the mean time is: are you getting enough Protein? are you drinking enough (dehydration can cause those symptoms)? Does an antiacid help? Your doctor will likely ask these question, so be prepared.

      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?
