Hey everyone. I have been lurking on this site for a while but I decided to go ahead and register and say hey. I am just starting my band process. I had my first appointment at True Results in Scottsdale, today. So... Yeah. This is happening. :D

I remember when I made my mental commitment and how thrilling the whole thing was but how darn long it takes to get to the point where you start shedding the lbs. Congrats!

The mental hurdle is the biggest one. Actually stepping through the doors was easy. :) This is going to take some time, I have a few hops to jump through to make my insurance company happy. That's fine, I'll jump. I'll learn valuable lessons in the process. Thank you.

Thank you. I am sure I won't be. This isn't a rash decision, I'm going in both eyes wide open. :)

That is awesome! I too went through the True Results in Scottsdale. It took me just over a year to finally decide, and I am now 1 week post-surgery. I can tell you that it might seem like you made a bad decision the first couple of days, but believe me, you will SO learn that you made the right choice! Welcome to the family:)

Thank you so much. :)

It's funny, I half expected, once the initial euphoria began to calm to feel that touch of "buyers remorse" or fear that I was making a mistake but I have given this so much thought, researched it so thoroughly and gone back and forth in my head over it for so long that I am completely calm about my decision. :D

      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.
