My surgery date is 12-19-13, I am so ready to rock this band. I started my journey on 7-23 weighing 265 lbs, as of 11-4 at my last apt before surgery I weighed in at 221lbs that's 45lbs I have lost in 15 weeks. My goal is 150 by my birthday on 6-10-14, so I have 70 lbs to loose yet. If I reach my goal I'm going to rock a bakini for the first time in my life. I'm so ready to release the hot momma that has been hiding my entire life!

My date is 12-5. I'm nervous and excited as well. I start my preop diet (sugar busters) on 11/21. I started this process at 280, now at 265. Can't wait til this time next year to see how far we've come.

Hi kelmat! I am scheduled to get my band on 12-18-13. Sometimes I think I may be crazy to do this one week before Christmas. But, my insurance is changing so I need to get it in before the end of the year. Also, there will always be some reason not to do it. I too, am very nervous. I've never had any type of surgery before. I would definitely like to have some friends who know what I am going through.

      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?
