Just out of the hospital as we speak! Still a bit stiff but feeling good! I am sure I will have lots of questions as I get used to all this!

Out of curiosity though anyone who had the band for a while and does bench presses and squats and heavy weight exercises or is this not advisable forever?

Thanksfor the info! I guess I am still under the anesthetics effect! :o It's a good thing I never press on that fentany button I'd still be with the fairies! Had my surgery 29 hours ago so I am still a bit stiff even though I am not in too much pain.

BTW it was a first strange question to ask!

I am 51M ! Born in Montreal Quebec Canada but Now living in Western Australia for the past 5 1/2 years!

I do tons of squats and presses and do lifting quite a bit. I'm a girl, so I'm not doing as much as a guy, but it should be okay for you after awhile.

      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.
