I was banded oct 2016.

So far 52 pounds down so very happy about that.

Just looking for someone to share experiences, exercise, food choices etc.

Look forward to hearing from someone.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I am sure things will get better it seems most people struggle in the first week. Hang in there, remember why you had it and think of the long term goal.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, I am still pre-op but wanted to let you know I was thinking of you.

Hi @nannynoonoo

Just came across your post. Sorry for the late reply.

I remember the first few weeks post op I felt the same. All I can say is it does get better. I have a band so I'm sure my recovery would be different. Happy to be a buddy 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.
