Hello All, I've only been on here for a few days and I'm still learning my way around. I am just starting the process of becoming banded. It wont happen until the middle of May at least. I know someone who recently started selling the "It Works" products and I was wondering if anyone here can give any type of advice on them? I do not have confidence in products of that type but I do know that I will have alot of excess skin down the road. I currently weigh 325 and am hoping I can get in the area of 175. I am 43 and have 3 children. I am just looking for advice that will help with the excess.

Thanks

Becky

I have tried the "It Works'' and it works short term.

I like to tell people if you are needing to fit into a dress and need a little gone, or tightened then this is great, otherwise you are not looking at long term benefits.

Only thing that works long term is exercise and eventually Excess skin removal, unless you are truly blessed with great elasticity of your skin (and I have seen it happen) you are destine to have baggy areas that will not tighten or tone up.

      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?
