I've had 2 c-sections years ago, and also a hystectomy :eek:last year and I can 100% say that all 3 of those were hell compared to my Lap-band surgery. Lap band was nothing compared to those.:clap2:

Hi,

I plan on being banded early next year. I should be done with all of my req's by 12/18/07 if all goes as planned. I was originally going to do it a year ago, but my father fell ill and there was just too much going on. I live in Orange County, CA and will have it done at St. Joseph's Medical Center in ORANGE, CA by Dr. Eric Pham.

I've not had a Csection...but I did have a Tummy Tuck and from what I gather...it's the same thing. Abdomen being opened, muscles ripped...etc.

And goodness NO. The band was a breeze compared to that!

      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.
