Hello I was revised from band to bypass on 10/9/13 .I couldn't pass gas on the 3Rd day and was in pain so my doctor did another surgery instead of a CT scan . He didn't find anything so on the 3Rd day from that surgery I had the same pains and requested for them to see if I had a bowel restriction. They did a CT scan and saw I did then my doctor did a third surgery and that time he cut me from above my belly button to about a half of foot. I been in the hospital almost two weeks then came out then back in. I'm healing slowly now with a wound vac because they sent me home with an infection. My journey has been hard . I just pray this whole ordeal is almost over. I've been through so much I didn't expect.

      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.
