I get mine on Wed. Not sure what to expect either. As it is now I do not have much of an appetite and eat about 6-800 calories a day. I really dont have much of a desire to even eat food and still have a shake for 1-2 meals a day.

Let us know how it goes.

Over rated in the pain department. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 equals lots of pain, its a 0. I felt NO restriction until about the 3rd fill. Most doctors go it slow on the fills and want you to continue to make the right choices with food.

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.
