Hi! I just joined this forum today! I have been reading for a little while and have found A LOT of great info here! :)

I had a lap-band "installed" July 2008. I did ok for the first four months, went from 221 to 179. Then I got pregnant! :-O I didn't gain a WHOLE lot while pregnant, but gained none-the-less. Not too long after giving birth I started to get "stuck", and it had just gotten worse and worse. I have days now that I can't even drink Water :(, so now I am planning on getting a sleeve and this "crap-band" (sorry I saw that term on here, and it couldn't be any more perfect!) removed!! I'm 99% sure I will be having my surgery on 6/15/12! :)

Prior to getting my lap-band done, I didn't have to do any pre-op diet. The facilitator for dr. Garcia said I will have to do one this time. I know she will be giving me the specifics soon, but Iwas wondering if anybody had any info they wouldn't mind sharing for the time being :) also any tips getting through this diet? It sounds challenging!

TIA!

Jaclyn

      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?
