OMGosh I LOVE your screen name! Yummmmmmmm!

Good for you for supporting your sister! Read alot and take notes...make sure she's as prepared as possible for banded life. And, once she's banded, let this be her journey. Everyone does it differently (mentally) so don't be her "Food Police", let her practice and just love her and encourage her. You are a great Sis!

And don't tempt her with Krispy Kremes? LOL Yummmmmmm!

Glad to hear your support your sister. It's sad when you hear about bandsters who don't have the support of their friends and family. Good for you and for her too. Give her our best.

With a name like that I knew you didn't have a band. That's like walking through a room full of alcholics with a gallon of Jack Daniels...saying no no you don't want any of this stuff...it's bad for you.

Hi my name is Teresita and I a recovering foodaholic for 11 months, 363 and 12 hours and the next time I see your name, I WILL eat you.

      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.
