You are post op. Please trust your choice, follow all dr. Instructions...

Many of us are the happiest and healthiest we have been in years, thanks to the band.

Don't believe everything on the internet. The band works for a lot of people just fine... They may not post much.

For some it does not, and they post about it and their revisions.

Now that you are on the other side, welcome and try to enjoy what could be the best decision of your life!

Please keep us updated.

Ps. NO REGRETS

I have not had any regrets.. when I first had my surgery I would say the first week I was scared that I would not be able to follow the rules and lose weight. I have done fine , had no problems or complications but I try to be very compliant. My Dr. had some rules such as no straws, no soda's and no gum. Negative stories on the internet can make you feel afraid or anticipate something happening to you, ignore those stories and do your own thing. I have maintained my weight loss for 3 years. I feel great, have managed to get healthier, no diabetes, no high cholesterol and blood pressure back to normal. I would say that was worth it. You will mourn the loss of your favorite foods, but honestly there are very few things that I still crave. I wish you the very best and look forward to you posting your success.

      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.
