Bobbi, How are you feeling? It's been 4 days since your banding. I am totally with you there. Staying positive is how I feel too about everything. I'm 53 1/2 and it's a new and good journey for me to take on. I need to feel good physically and I know it will do wonders for me mentally also even though I can pretty much keep in good spirits most of the time. I've been through all of the required testings and we're now waiting for results to get to the surgeon's office. They will then give it to the insurance co. (which we know already they will cover) and then the date will be determined. I'm very excited because this is going to help me with the overeating and I am ready to make a complete change in my food choices with the lapband's help. I am hoping for a date right after January 5th, anytime after that. I have a busy season at work with the holiday coming up, sales... and my daughter just told me she's graduating Jan. 4th 08 from cosmetology school and she expects us there and we want to be there. The only one who knows I'm getting this procedure done is my husband and my closest friend. No one else and I don't plan on telling anyone cause my mind has been made up and I don't want to hear what everyone has to say. This is a very personal decision I have made.

Best wishes to you for an easy and quick recovery.

Stevie

      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?
