Hi I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have not been banded but my pcp suggested it and said to come here for advice and support. I am having many medical problems because of my weight. I am also a juvenile diabetic. I have alot of insurance questions. My pcp said this would be a good source of information. So hello to all and I hope to chat soon.:)

Hello,

I have to ask, where did you come up with that name. Really caught my attention. Yes, you did come to the right place I bet there isn't anything you can ask that someone on here doesn't have the answer too.

Keep us informed and read read read and welcome.

I came up with that name because I am a truckdriver and I put the miles behind me hence killing the hiway. Corny I guess but it works thanks for the welcome.:)

Very cute name. Welcome again. If you have any questions, ask on. I've been banded since July 10, of this year. I don't have the fastest weight loss on here but it has been fairly steady until this week until I decided I would eat a damn recess Peanut Butter cup then went down hill from there. I down about 50 pounds in 3 months but after this week who knows, I have really screwed up this week.

Hi and welcome to LBT! As already mentioned, you will probably be able to find answers to most of your questions here at our wonderful board. When you have a moment, read the stickies at the top of each forum. They are loaded with valuable information that I am sure you will find helpful. There is also a forum specifically related to insurance that I am sure you will also find helpful.

      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?
