car.gifWell, I had my Lap Band Dr visit yesterday, and thanks to all of you I was very well informed about the pro's and con's, and how life will be as a bandster. clap2.gif I am greatful to all who answered my call for help when my Daughter was trying to talk me out of it. We have agreed to disagree, and all is well. I did purchase the book Lap Band For Life, and it was very informative. My DH came to the 4 hr Dr visit yesterday, and is supporting me 100%. I am going to Dr Noel Williams at the University of Penn. I have my cardiology appt today, and my sleep study and PFT next week. I am hoping I will have jumped trough all the mandatory hoops by the end of Oct, and get scheduled for surgery before the holidays. I am very determined to start this new way of life. I was wondering how you all put the design at the bottom of your page that shows your WL progress, I couldn't get my picture on either. I want to start my journey with your support, and would like to have all those things under my signature, it is so inspiring to see the wt loss. Thanks again!! God Bless, Jeanne

Glad to hear everything is working out for you. I have had my band 28 days today and it has not been bad. Just getting used to not drinking with my meal is all. Good luck getting the required stuff done, the time will o by quickly.....Dave

      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?
