Hey guys. So I was browing lap band results and found this website on google. I am getting pretty anxious for my surgery! I am going to be banded on 12/17/07. They moved it up from the 27th. I had a friend who had it done and she had to follow some special diet a week before she went in. My dr just told me to be NPO after midnight. Do you guys have any words of advice or and recommendations for me? I am getting real antsy, but yet so excited. I have alot to lose but I am ready for this.

I know the last week before surgery I was ready to jump out of my skin!

I think everyone in December (who really wants surgery) will be moving up because there are those who will postpone "until after the holidays". So with any luck, maybe you will be moved up again.

How lucky you are not to have a pre-op diet--but I must tell you that it prepared me for post-op and the band's rules.

Best wishes to you in your upcoming surgery! :eek:

      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?
