Hope this is the right place to post this. I haven't had a lap band done,YET. I am having my first visit with the nurse next week. I am both excited and nervous. I have been reading about everyones experiences and find them very inspirational. I live on the Gold Coast in Qld Australia. I just wanted to say keep up the good work to all of you who have had it done.:clap2:

Well, it appears I am in the right place! I am almost done with my six month program and will be having the lap band surgery the second week of December. I can't wait to read what you are writing. I am getting a little nervous :(

Hi Trish, you will have your surgery way before me. I don't think I can have it until after Christmas as I have so many things on at the moment. A wedding, a trip to New Zealand and away for Christmas. I just want it now though! You will be able to tell me how it goes.

      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?
