I just found this site too. I am so excited. I was banded Sept. 25. I am down 22 lbs. and have lots of questions too. I am trying to find my way around the site. I have posted a question but have not seen it come up yet so do not know where it went.

I've been banded since 10/23 and have lost 27 pounds ... the weight loss has tailed off and I'm scheduled for my first fill on 11/28. Does it usually go this way? I know in the beginning I was having 3 oz meals, but now I'm eating food again. I'm eating less than in the past, but much more than right after surgery..:) I was 385 and I'm now down to 358 and have 123lbs to go!! I was direted from someone on the OH site and it is my pleasure to meet 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?
