Hello Friends!

My name is Tracey and I am from Arizona. I am having my lap band surgery on December 28th. I am looking forward to it, but a little nervous.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone!

Hi Tracey, and welcome to LBT! Wow, your date is getting close. Does your doctor have you on a liquid diet? Let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help and support one another.

Hi Susan-

Thanks for your response!

Yes, I am on that awful liquid diet! I have the most HORRIBLE headache today from it too!

How long after op. did you have a 'full' feeling when you ate? How long did it take for you to be able to eat 'normal' foods (I really want some hummus!)

Thanks again-Tracey

I am in Texas and going to Monterrrey for the surgery on the 28th. I'm in the anxious-nervous-excited stage!

Hi There Neighbor!

I am going to the Weight Loss Institute in Tempe. They are higher priced, but it includes 3 years of monthly support groups, pre and post counseling, free personal trainer for 3 years and all your doctor visits. I felt comfortable with my surgeon.

I live in Queen Creek! How far along are you in the process?

Merry Christmas Tracey and to all who read this.

Tracey, I live in Prescott and will be banded on 1/31/2008. So I will be really interested in hearing from you on how the LB is going. I am having it done at Scottsdale Shea. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you have a very successful journey!

      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?
