I was just banded on Tuesday, and although extremely sore it is tolerable, and I would do it over in a heartbeat. I'm not the least bit hungry and looking forward to this journey. Best of luck to you.

God Bless

I'm getting banded at NWWLS August 31, Dr. Montgomery. The whole staff there is great!

Since you are cash pay, you won't have the time delay of waiting for insurance to approve you, that will help with the time. I'm only waiting that long because of work schedules.

      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?
