I don't mean to correct, but that's "girdle" and I haven't heard that term since I was in school (all of us who weren't rail thin wore them instead of "garter belts" to hold up our stockings, and then we kept wearing them without the stockings to try and keep our fat under control!!!! );) I just purchased some Spanx about a month ago and I recall wearing them to a party and being a little concerned about eating with them on. It does tend to constrict you more in the gut (and I don't mean just holding the fat in), and since you are already pretty constricted, I would think twice about eating with something like that on. Girdle.....wow.....flashback!

Girdle is my bestfriend! I do wear it - on occasion, depends on if I'm wearing a slim fitting dress. I haven't experienced any vomiting though.

I wonder if yours is too tight? Mine is not a tight fitting one, just one that smooths out my rolls and dimples. :)

No girdle for the past 35 years, but if I wear jeans that are too tight I have problems. Anything that would squeeze your stomach is probably not a good idea with a band.

      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?
