Hi everyone!! I am 28 and I made my first appointment with the Surgeon for Jan 14th. I have been doing alot of research on the lap band and have decided it is the way I want to go. I am so thankful to have found this site, it has given me alot of insight into the pre-op and post-op.

Hello and congrats on making the decision to go for the band.

I am also in NJ (Hunterdon CO) and used Dr. Abkin in Florham Park. I was operated on at Morristown Memorial and have been ridiculously thrilled with my band. I hope you have the same experience.

Welcome and best of luck.

Hi... I am in South Jersey too. Burlington County. I went to Dr Kirkland. He is awesome! I was banded on 10/4. I have lost 45 pounds so far. He believes in fill & not making you wait. I could have had 3-4 fills by now but i have only had 1- 1/2 cc's put in & I do not need any right now. It feels great! Good luck!

hello....another Jersey girl here. I am from central Jersey and just got banded on Jan. 3rd. I am in the starving stage!!!! I only have to do liquid for 1 week and cant wait till it is over. I am ready for another stage and to just add something else into my stomach. Oh well, I have high hopes for the future. Good luck to all

      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?
