Well folks, it is done!!!!! All went well, I also got the new band. Just resting at home now. Some shoulder and upper abdominal discomfort but I'll live. Was real groogy after I came home. Today I am much better. I can't believe after so many years of trying I finally got it done.

Thunderwheels - Congrats and welcome to band land - each day you will feel better - i was back to work (deskjob) by day 6 and I have a few years on you...The tool (band) does work as long as you make healthy food choices and exercise (imho this is key)...

This is a GREAT site for support...

Kacee, glad you enjoyed. Nothing like a prime cut of meat. Now we can take focus off quantity and we can increase quality. Whenever I do start to eat again I plan to focus on quality foods. May cost more but now I need a lot less.

Well, just about 2 months out now and I am holding at about 30lbs +-. I get my second fill today and I could use it. I feel as if I have no restriction at all. I had a 16 oz steak on my birthday (back to the steak thing again) and experienced no problem with it at all. Matter of fact, I have had no problem with foods at all. No pb's, no slimes, nothing. I had some restriction after the first fill, nothing major but enough to hold the snacking down but now it is all shear will power to stop from over doing it. I am excercising at least 3 days a week. I plan to put it in overdrive the next 4 weeks in order to meet my personal goals. Just hoping fill two makes it a little easier.

Hey lady! I was just going to mail you today but I got distracted putting out fires. I am fine. Down about 35lbs now. I just got my third fill and I am filling it. Nothing bad though, just nice to have some emergency brakes. How are you coming along? I bet you all skinny now!!

      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?
