Okay here's my story my operation was June 27th 2013. Having had a previous operation for cancer some 25 years ago I knew there might be some complications with scaring. I later learned that when the doctor started the procedure he found 11 hernias besides along with Scaring. My Dr had to perform a temporary hernia fix in order for him to complete the surgery now that is why my title says one down and ten to go.

Oh my.. You need 10 more surgeries in other words? That's horrible but extremely happy your a cancer surviver thumbs up darling :) the rest of the surgeries when are you having done? Why couldn't they find this before WLS so you can have it all set. At least you know what's going on.

First exam since surgery today down 11 .5 pounds. Dr says he's going to wait a little while for healing and more weight loss before he goes in again. And 1st 2nd and 3rd BM was incredible. Activia in the works for this newbie.

      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.
