Hi Everyone!

I'm glad I found this site, I belong to another one but I'm thinking I'll like this one more (only Lap-Banders) I like that!!

I haven't been banded *yet* went too my 1st seminar last week Friday and met my Banding Dr. Schram. I'm going through Barix Clinic of Holland but my surgery will be in Ypsilanti. They sent my medical letter to my insurance...... now the waiting begins :cry

But I have too start somewhere right?

It's going to take me a few day's to get use too the new pad..... so bare with me if I post in the wrong spots :faint: Looking forward too reading your journies!

Welcome!! I am waiting to be banded too!! I go to meet the surgeon 2morrow!! I am excited and nervous trying to compile a list of questions for him!! I am just so ready for my band... But I am so scared and nervous. I don't wanna hate my band after I get it and I don't want complications!! I just wanna use my band as a tool and get healthy ... that's my main objective!!

      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?
