At the risk of sounding stupid, what is lap band support?

When I was banded I was given a pamphlet of information from Allergen about registering the band. It was supposed to be a "support" site in case you had any issues with the band.

I sent in the card, they sent it back to me because we didn't fill out what size band we had. So I filled them out again and sent them back. Then I called and registered and they were supposed to send a card in the mail for travel since you have this "appliance" in you now, and it will show up on body scans. Kind of like an ID card, but I never heard from them again or received any information, it's been over 5 months now.

      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?
