Hello Everyone,

Glad to have found this site! I am been pursing the lapband since November 2006. I should have my surgery date within two weeks. I feel I have jumped through a lot of hurdles to get here. I guess it was worth the wait, the surgeon I have told me that just last week he was authorized to use a "new lapband" that produces even greater weightloss results. I guess he is just one of six surgeons in the US able to use it. So I am happy about that.:clap2:

I look forward to hearing all your stories and enjoying the challenges and triumphs of the lapband.

I just got my date yesterday. It will be on July 20th. I will have to go on a five day fast before the surgery and then I plan on taking some time off. I really want to devote my time to encorporating new habits into my new life style.

Good for you. How exciting. I've been banded for a year and I'm so happy with my band. Congrats and good luck. I live in Northern, CA.

      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?
