Hello to everyone,I just found this site, and I am so happy. I am a single mother of 4 small children, so I am so glad to find a support group to help me through this. My husband left me 3 days before I found out I was approved for surgery, we were to go through this together, but I am better off now... I was origianlly going to get the RNY, but had heard a lot of negative tings about that procedure. So I decided to go the route that would best fit me. I have to be sane to take care of my children, So I went with the one that had less recovery time. Also I have had 4 c-sections and was not too keen on the idea of being put under for 2 hours... anyway just wanted to introduce myself and tell you all hello. I will be officially banded on September 29, 2006!!!

My new birthday. Please pray for me!! Stay Blessed you all!:clap2:

And they say women are the weaker sex! God Bless You and yours as you go through this transition time. And please keep in mind that when things are this crazy, it is sooooo easy to run to the refrigerator to find comfort. Don't add self loathing to the load you are already carrying.

Stay in touch and come back often. We won't leave 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.

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