Hey everyone, I'm curious about your opinion on this matter. I visited my surgeon today and after all the measurements and weigh ins and stuff they asked me if I wanted to be in a commercial. I'm also going to have my pictures taken for a sucess story for their website.

What do you guys think, should I do it?

I don't care that everyone I know might see it because I've told everyone that I have the lap-band.

Anyways, Poll should be above.

I'd go for it, maybe it will help people that are skeptical if this is the route to take. I noticed your surgeon is Dr. John Pennings, Is that the same one from Post Falls? He's to do mine in January.

If you're happy with your band and confident with your surgeon's work, go for it!

Congratulations on your success thus far :eek:

Yeah, he asked me today. He's a great guy and my mother also works at that hospital.

      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?
