Any UK banders?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in September. Most people on here seem to be from US. I love the support and advise. Just wondered if there were many Uk'ers and where and when you were banded?

I'm getting fine thank you' date=' just look forward to see some real progress;)[/quote']

I know. It's a long hard struggle really. Not the easy way out people think?

I hit a plateau and wasn't losing a few weeks ago and advise on here told me to up calories. I know have between 1000 and 1100 a day and yes it did work and I started to lose again. Just wish it would be faster haha!

Where about in the UK was you banded?

      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?
