Hello, I am due to be banded on oct. 12 2007. My doctor is Kenneth Hollis out of houston texas. I was cruising the net trying to find out more information on the procedure and I found this forum. I am quite impressed so far! As I am going through last minute reservations this is just what I needed to quell some of my fears.

Hi! I will be banded on the 15th. Good luck to you. From what I have read, it seems that a lot of us have some sort of reservations. Mine is just that I am sure I will miss food!! LOL We are starting a new faze of our lives. Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I was looking to join a support group, but the ones in my area weren't doing much, so I thought I'd search on the web and I found this site! (yay).

So far I've lost about 20 lbs, but I've stopped losing now because I need to go have my first fill. That is scheduled for Oct. 17th. Looking forward to it!

Well so far, it's been well worth it. I've had a few issues, mainly pain at the port sight a week after surgery, but I'm happy to announce that's all but gone now. The BIG issue now is the bathroom issue. (as in, I can't be more than 20 feet from one at any given time.) I'm not sure what's going on, but if anyone has any ideas or similar experiences please let me know! Other than that, I'm super happy to be banded and am looking forward to my fill. I'll keep you guys posted. Good luck on your surgery!

I'm new to this forum. Can someone tell me how to get

started? How do I set up my stats, etc.

Hi,

You can get your ticker at TickerFactory.com, the glitzy name at GlitterMaker.com then all you need to do is go to UserCP at the top of this screen and edit your signature. Paste your links into the signature and voila. :biggrin1:

      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.
