several ppl have asked me how things are going. tomorrow will be my last day of liquids. I have lost 6 lbs total. I have had no reflux or spasms since the Fluid was taken from the band. I didn't cheat although it was hard, really hard. Wednesday when I start soft foods I know it's going to be even harder. I will be eating as if my band is restrictive. I know I will be hungry all the time. but my desire for my life with the band is stronger than my desire for food. thanks to all of you that have sent me get well wishes. it really helps having all of you that understand what I am talking about. my poor husband tries but he is just do it type of guy and doesn't get the emotional side of things. but he is very supportive and tries really hard to see how hard all this is. best to all, take care of your band.

      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?
