I should have done this first. I am new to this sight. My name is ladyshaw and I am 40 yrs.old. I have been married to my husband for 19 years. We have 3 children ,the youngest is 5 . The other two are two are 22 and 19. I decided to do weight loss surgery for several reasons. The most important reason being my health and the horrible obesity genes in my family. I am afraid of reaching the point of no return. I have an avid physical activity life and I am conscious of what and how much I eat. But I am still afraid of failing with the lapband. I just really need this too work in my life. I know with Jesus all things are possible . Any suggestions pros or cons? I schedule my surgery today hopefully

      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?
