hello. i just signed up and my lapband surgery is a week from today.

i'm on the 10 day liquid diet now. today is day 3. i've been exercising a lot more; walking, swimming, gardening, moving around more in general.

i've been jumping thru hoops since february. i should have lost about 50 lbs just jumping thru all those hoops. :)

i'm hungry yet excited to get going!

Oh, how exciting for you!!! That's a long time to wait! Buckle your seatbelt! It's a wild ride (but a great one)! :)

that is very true! i have read where some patients have felt like they

were done a disservice by their dr. for not having them on the liquid diet before surgery. i think it's a great way to get used to it... today is day #4 and i still feel a little bit hungry but i'm hanging in there.

i'm not so sensitive about others eating around me anymore either.

i'm going to totally appreciate it when i can have more than liquids! :hungry::ranger:

      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?
