Hello!

I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there with a blog (like from wordpress or blogger) chronicling their weight loss surgery. I am getting a LapBand so I have a particular interest in blogs from others with the band, but all types of weight loss surgery blogs are still relevant. I've been looking around online for blogs but it seems there aren't many that are current and post regularly. So leave a comment and tell me about your blog or blogs you know of! Thanks :)

Here's a link to my blog, feel free to check it out:

My blog is http://www.shrinking-jeans.blogspot.com I had lap band to RNY Gastric Bypass revision on October 28, 2013, but I've been blogging for a lot longer about my weight loss attempts. :)

Best wishes on your lapband surgery, I never did a blog, but if you go on to lapband gal, you can see hers and she has several others that you can choose from. If you email her she will be happy to direct you.

I LOVE lapband gal!! Reading her blog is what inspired me to write one myself. I checked out a bunch of her "newly banded blogger" posts and a lot of them have since stopped updating their blogs. Bummer. But I think I might have to email her anyways and let her know how inspirational she is. Thanks :)

I have a blog that gets updated fairly regularly...I started about four months before being banded so it goes through all the thought process involved in this decision. It's on Wordpress and called TheLapbandChronicles (link in my signature below). I hope you will find something helpful and identifiable in my story.

      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?
