I've been to the education seminar. My hubby is taking me tomorrow. I'm not sure what happens and what even to ask. Any pearls from any of you would be helpful.

My insurance will not pay....so guess it will be my dime.....well many of them actually.

Once you have the surgery is it easy to not eat? "What is so different that you can stop yourself from pigging out? Is it a conscious thing that you are really aware of what you eat or are not supposed to eat?

I'm such a foodie. Our whole social life revoles around entertaining and wine and cooking. How do you do it? CJ

I have my class to inform us of the whole process on wed. I guess it is 4 hours. So many questions. My neighbor had the gastric bypass. Her weight just fell off. She looks great. but has health issues. I am guessing due to her food habbits she eats chocolate nonstop. and ice cream. I like the fact that it is adjustable and if need be could be removed. please tell me why you choose lap band over gastric bypass jsut looking for some reasurance

      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.
