Hey Tasa, I know how you feel. I was banded on the 3rd Oct, and I thought I would be feeling really good by now. I am still on regular pain meds which is doing wonders, but I can feel it as soon as they wear off. I also have 3 young children (all girls), but they are being pretty good. They know that Mummy has had an operation and they have to be very gentle with me, and not jump all over me like they usually do!

      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.
