Recommended Posts

Hello all.

I just found your site and was wanting to introduce myself. I had my lap-band "installed" on October the 2nd and so far everything has been as smooth as glass. for me it was a same day surgery I went in at 5:am and was leaving at 7:pm that night. the only problem I did have was trying to find the liquid pain reliever that was prescribed ( Liquid Tylenol and codeine)for me at the local drug stores. A quick call to my doctor solved this right away, he changed my script to just the codeine and purchased the Tylenol and mixed it myself.

I have lost 22 pounds and seem to be going strong. Not much appetite I seem to be getting full rather quickly. My doctor was Dr. Murr at Tampa General Hospital

Nice to meet each of you and I'm looking forward to enjoying your support.

Hi SlimerJim,

Congratulations on the weight loss so far and good to hear your positive experience.

I live in Zephyrhills and have 5 kids also.

Will be getting the band next Friday(26) in Dade City with Dr. DiCicco. I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet but has slipped a couple times but have lost 8 lbs.

Dave

      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?
