I'm almost 2 years banded. Getting close to goal and STILL have people try to tell me I made a bad decision. After that much weightloss and NO complications...people talk...people have their opinions. I say forget them. If they cant support me and my decision to become healthier than I dont need them in my life. I am happier than I have been in YEARS...so do what you need to do. Its your life not theirs! Good Luck! By the way you talk I know you will run far with it! :)

I watched a movie a few years ago and will never forget the following scene: Picture a man on a bike carrying load in a basket in the front of the bike. His son about 10 years old is walking along side him as they travel home. Someone they encountered on the journey yelled at the dad that he was a bad dad because he was making his son walk. The father got off the bike and his son started riding. Another person they passed yelled to them that the son was disrespectful because he was making his dad walk and since he was younger and had more energy he should let his dad ride the bike. This time they both got on the bike and another person yelled that they were wicked for putting so much weight on the bike. They both got off the bike and just pushed it home but yet another person had something to say. He yelled that they were both silly for walking when one of them could get on the bike....as you can see, EVERYONE WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. Do what works for you and tune out all the people you pass on the way to your satisfaction.

      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.
