Hi,

My name is Shandy. I am 28 years old. I will be 29 in January. I got the band in December 2006 by Dr. Spiegel. I have not had much success yet, but it is my own fault. I havn't been faithful to the diet. I am an insulin dependent diabetic so I get frustrated very quickly because my diabetes seems to make it difficult to stick to the diet and when I mess up I seem to give up all together. I just got my 4th fill so hopefully I can stay on track this time. I have only lost 15lbs since December 2006, but I need to lose 80lbs.

Heres to staying on track!

Good luck to you Shandy. put your mind to it and I have faith that you will have success!! 15lbs is a great accomplishment and even though you would like to have lost more you can look on the good side - you havent gained weight!!

Thanks. That's true, at least I haven't gained the weight back. Thanks for reminding me. That makes me feel better. :)

      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?
