Hey Delawareans.

I know there have to be some people out there who have had this procedure done or considering it. I would like to chat with others.

I am having Lap-Band on May 5th with Dr. Irgau. I am very excited and eager to meet other people who are going thru what I am. I actually live in Oxford, Pa but since my doc is in Del I am responding. Where are you in the process?:hungry:

Hi I'm from lower DE. I see Dr. Wynn. The plan is for my surgery to be done on May 15th. I'd love to talk to any one from DE.

Hey maebeth-

I am in your area. I just found out my insurance covers this surgery, but have to wait for the center to be approved. Hopefully June 1. My goal is to lose 100 pounds.

I've been approved! I have a surgery date of June 22nd! I really wasn't expecting to be approved until the end of the year so, YEAH FOR ME! Guess I'd better get Protein shopping!

I'm in New Castle County, Dr. Peters will be doing my surgery at St. Francis. Any tips anyone would like to share would be appreciated!

      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.
