I have to say that since I found this web site, I have been reading and reading and reading. I am due to be banded in less than 2 months and the closer I get, the more spooked I get. I know I am doing what is right for me and reading your stories has helped me. I see that most of you have added pictures and weight chart and things. My step-son will be home from the airforce in Aug, i'll get him to give me computer 101 so I may jazz up a bit.

Again thanks for all your imput

Welcome Rainbow. Keep reading, reading, reading. Post and ask questions, too. The more informed you are, the more confidant you will be and in my opinion, the better you'll do. You'll be on the losing side before you know it.

Good luck,

Welcome to the site. I found this about 2 months prior to surgery. I was just banded last Tuesday and I couldn't live without this site. It is great. You learn so much about how others are doing, handling surgery, problems, issues, good news, etc. Keep looking at the site and good luck with your surgery. I feel great 5 days post op and down 5 lbs.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
