Lisa - welcome aboard! Will your surgery be covered by Insurance or are you paying for it yourself? Do you have lots of family & friends to support you through this?

Glad to see that you've found a great site for support & info from others doing the same.

God's blessings & good luck as you move forward!:D

Hi Lisa,

Welcome aboard!! I am in the UK also and I have found the people on this board to be a wealth of information, there doent seem to be anyone near me who has even heard of the band - let alone someone who has one!

Good luck with your surgery, it is a piece of cake.....and we all know how easy that is!!! ;)

      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.
