Just saying hello. I am new to this site. I have been "lurking" and researching the Band for some time. I have attended two different doctor seminars and have selected a doctor. My first appointment will be on May 31 with Dr. Adam Smith in Fort Worth. I live about 4 hours drive away, but I am really impressed with this Doc and his staff.

I will be self-pay. My group insurance excludeds ANYTHING related to obesity. It was not easy coming up with the $$$, but I really believe this will be worth it. I am thankful I have a hubby that supports me in this decision.

There is some really great information and support here. Thanks to everyone that makes it possible.

      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.
