Hello, this is my first post. I was banded on 9/14/2007. I couldn't have asked for a better surgery, and recovery. So far I my start weight was 252.2 and now i'm 237.0. I'm really glad that I found this support group to ask questions, as there isn't a support group in the central valley that I have heard of yet and I'm feeling a little bit on my own. Any insight would be great. Any advice would be better.

Thanks

Liz

Welcome,

You should try the chat I love to chat with the other here. I am in the central valley California too and the only support group I found meets on Tuesday night in Turlock. I am sure that there is other but I haven't looked because it is easier to chat with my support group here. sounds like you are doing a great job losing your weight.

Bye for now

      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.
