HI! I am an ARMY wife too! Even almost the same handle too! lol I am in the middle of going from a bad band experience to Bypass in about a week. I'm nervous because I lost about 80lbs on the band but, it was SO hard and I gained it all back. Do you ever regret doing the bypass? I'm In FL but would def keep in touch and help prop you up when you are in a slump! God knows I need that too, I know quite a bit about some meds that could help you. they helped me after I went into a tailspin with my band and saw a psychiatrist who is a specialist in addiction, compulsion, and eating disorders. It gave me the first bit of actual control over eating ever in my life. It might help you too (and counseling as well). The drug helped me at least only put back my pre band weight and not an additional 100lbs! Look forward to chatting with you!

      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?
