Well I had my surgery on Thursday, still sore but it's improving a little each day. Only thing now is that I am on Clear Liquids and it is not filling me up at all! So miserable right now.

Im sorry to hear that. Well at least it is only a week right? I have heard that that frist week is different for a lot of prople. Some I have talked with have no desire to eat or drink, others have a hard time getting things down and then some say they are starving as you. I have not been banded yet but you have no restriction at all?

Congratulations being on the banded side!

That phase is one of the hardest things about LBS. Thats when you have to keep reminding yourself, how bad you want this to work.

Right now is "mind over matter".

You can do it

Yeah for being banded. As your doc about your Protein shakes! This will help you get through the liquid stage for sure. They did for me. And your right~ Everyday gets a little bit better then the last.

Cheers to the Bandland. And happy recovery.

      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.
