:rose: My surgery is also January 8th in Nashville. I agree with you, I'm not worried about the new year's resolution. I'm excited about making a goal and keeping the weight off.

Merry Christmas to All:clap2:

flip.... I see your goal you set for your weight.. Did the doctor tell you a certain weight or did you decide that? I've heard some talk about the 'average' and some told by their doctor a certain weight they will achieve. I want to be realistic here, but 175# sounds great to me.. currently 365, medium frame- I've been told, 5'9" . so I'm anxious to hear if they will tell me a weight that is reasonable. I don't want to set myself up for failure if I can't realistically get there to begin with

Merry Christmas all....

Hi all,

I am being banded on the 16th January and I am nervous and very excited at the same time. It has been hard not telling anyone other than my husband as I don't want people asking me every 5 minutes how much weight I have lost and if I can eat that on my "diet". I bet you have all been there before as well. Ithink I want to make sure it works for me before I say any thing to other people. Good luck to every one(including me).;)

      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.
