I had my gastric bypass surgery 3 months ago and was just wondering if anyone else had the fobi ring fitted?

What's a fobi ring?

Sweet

It's a silicone ring they put at the opening of your stomach to stop ur stomach stretching back at a later date, i paid more money to have it fitted x

Wow! I would have liked to get that.

Yer, apparently the normal gastric bypass has a success rate of about 70% and a fobi pouch has 90%

      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?
