I get banded on Tuesday and I am really looking forward to it! I have been on a 3 week liquid diet and surprisingly it hasn't been too bad, and I have lost about 25 pounds. But I am not gonna lie, I'm really looking forward to chewing my food again.

Good luck for Tuesday. I was banded 17 1/2 weeks ago and have not regretted it for a moment. I'm sure you will feel the same..

Yippee! So happy for you.......I love, love, love my band and this new chapter in my life. I feel so much better and my self-esteem has increased. Life is good. There is something very powerful about choosing ourselves and our healthy futures. Showing up in our lives! Here's to it. Good luck with all and don't forget to walk, walk, and then walk some more. You'll be glad you did. Oh, and way to go on the 25 down. I loved it that for the first time the weight I lost on pre-op was weight I'd never ever see again (unlike every diet I had ever been on, and those were plenty). Best wishes to 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?
