Nervous and Excited



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

This is my first time to these boards, as I have just recently decided to have lap band. I have not even started the approval process yet, but I work for an insurance company and know it is relatively painless. I am scared, though. I'm 23, and have not been admitted to the hospital since I was born. I am also saving for the $3000 I will need to pay my deductible/coinsurance, and that's not easy. Hopefully this is the right thing for me. I look forward to everyone's support through my progress. Have a great day!

Hey!

Congradulations on your decision to go ahead with this. You will do great! I just had mine done on the 27th and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you with anything. Keep us posted on your progress and welcome to LBT.

Hugs....

Hi Alex my name is Jeremy. Im 22 and decided to have the surgery about 2 months ago. I have just started day 5 of the pre diet, which consist of 12 oz of pudding a day. My surgery is on the 15 of January. I though we might could keep in touch since we are so close in age.

      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?
