How r u feeling now?

I do not understand what is going on with you well enough to offer specific advise.

BUT, I will tell you what I would do and have done on many occasions.

When I had something happen that I did not understand I called my doctor's office and asked to talk to the Lap band nurse. Usually most bariatric practices have a nurse that takes calls from perspective, pre and post lap band surgery folks. She had time to listen, answer questions and offer advice. In the one or two situations (I called plenty - I took her at her word that she was happy to be of help) she escalted my question/situation to the doctor or PA. She would usually call me back in a couple of hours and let me know what the doctor said. Just talking to her made me feel better. Most of my questions she was able to handle with some simple words of advice, encouragement and sympathy. I love nurses.

DO NOT feel embarrased to call your doctor about anything. But PLEASE, remember your manners and ask your questions nicely and thank everyone who takes the time to talk to you and help you.

I hope you are feeling better.

      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.
