Just Checking In, Seminar In Oct.



Recommended Posts

I'm checking off the days on my calender. I will be attending my senimar on the 4th, the first step, I'm getting excited, learning as much as I can.

My friend is having by-pass surgery this friday, she is excited, everyone tells me not to waste my time with the lapband and to have gastric by-pass, that I wont lose that much weight. but I know this is the best option.

Hey lachica 39- I was banded the end of August & will have my 1st fill the day you have your surgery & my friends said the same to me about having the B-pass instead but I don't want the worry of something irrversable as well as dumping on myself while I'm giving an important work presentation.. I haven't lost much weight yet but that will all begin after my fill in Oct. & I hoep to lose 50lbs by Dec. and then 70 by March so I'll keep you posted on how I do. I do exercise a lot though. There is another website where I've been getting great support from people -better than here so I'll give you it now Info on the Lap Band weight loss surgery - Weight Loss Alternatives<br /> Good luck to you & you made the right decision Steph!

      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.
