Hello Lapband Friends,

My name is Meshia and I will be banded on the 14th. I am excited and a little nervous which I assume is to be expected. I have struggled with being overweight for as long as I can remember. My paternal side of the family are all obese.That is my fear and motivation to get the band. I am a foster mother of two beautiful little girls and I want to be around for them for a long time.

Meshia:whoo:

      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.
