im 25 years of age and i was banded march 30 2012 it is very different for me i can admit that i as a female have a relationship with food and over the course of time ive learned to control that emotion but not always i still have my moments of eating and not chewing as slowly as i should ive lost 80 pounds and scared that i could gain it back as i have before but this time i feel different i use my band as a learning tool a change in life that will help me the for the rest of it god willing its not like jenny greg were i lost weight then gained back lost then gained back hopefully i can be strong enough to keep going the only problems i do have is being a lil too tight then when i get unfilled too too lose due to allergies some days are worse then others i have ppl asking me how am i losing weight and others saying i should of done it on my own the problem for me was never losing weight it was keeping the weight off and fast food cokes evil lil red can full of sugar but encouragement always helps so if anyones needs a friend or vice versa lets help each other on this journey

Congrats on losing 80 lbs, that's awesome! I know for me, it will always be a battle, but with the band I feel a lot more hopeful for my long term success. Best Wishes! :)

      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?
