Hi Everyone from CO.

Hi all!;)

I'm new to the site!

I was just banded on OCT. 22nd 2007

At Skyridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, CO. By Dr. Chae.

I'm just 11 Days out from surgery!

I never thought I'd be so EXCITED to have surgery!

I'm 33 years old Happily Married to the most AMAZING Husband & I have 3 BABIES, My Twins are almost 3 in FEB., Justin & David & My Daughter Ava just turned the BIG 1 on OCT.6th!

I'm SO HAPPY I found this SITE! It's so nice to read that other people have so much in common with ME!

Since surgery I have lost 19.5 LBS.!

My recovery so far has been good, Although I do get this really painful spasim thing happen on my left side where the port is from time to time, My Dr. says it's normal and wil go away..........So we'll see about that!

The hardest thing for me has been not being able to pick up & hold my BABIES! My 1 year old just wants MOMMY, she doesn't understand..... I just got to the point yesterday that I can hold her in my lap....So each DAY does get BETTER!

I get my first fill on NOV.29th!

Does anyone have any good ideas to keep the weight coming off until the fill's start coming?

I Look forward to reading & being a part of the site!

Thanks for reading!

Jennifer

Jennifer,

Welcome! I noticed your post because I'm also from Colorado. I live in Parker but I was banded in Mexico by Dr Ortiz on Sep 5th. I'm doing well- you can follow my progress and others at my blog...

      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?
