I've got a Date with a Lap-Band!



Recommended Posts

Well today it finally happened. I was given my date for my lap band surgery.

Finally after all the years of shopping for whatever fit me then shopping for what I wanted.

Finally after all the years of standing behind in a photo to hide instead of up front.

Finally after all the years of food being in control of me, I will be in control of my food.

In a little over a month everything that has always been in front of me will be behind me....way behind.

Wish me luck!

Congratulations, JoJoLYC! I'm a 'newbie' too - I joined the forum 2 years ago, but only now had the courage to book my surgery and start making the changes my body has been so desperately craving.

My surgery is December 18th. So I'm just a few weeks ahead of you. Hey - we can keep each other posted on how we're doing!

Way to go!

Jan 14th

That was my surgery date as well. I'll be two years out on the 14th. Wishing you as much success as I've had.

      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?
