Just got my date December 4th



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!!!

I am sooooo excited about getting the Lap Band on December 4th. It is something that I have waited for for a long time. I orginally was denied by Cigna for not following the 6 month physican diet to the T. I was seeing my physcian every other month instead of every month during the 6 month time frame. However, I sent in a really great appeal letter and just got word last week that they approved me. Now I am scrambling around trying to get all my pre-op stuff done. I am so excited to change my life.

Well just wanted to say hello to everyone!

I am going to be banded at Potomac Hospital in Woodbridge, VA. We have about the same amount of weight to loss to get to our ideal weights. It will be interesting to see how this goes for both of us! Good luck to you.

      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?
