Hello from the UK

hello from the UK!

Have been reading and reading and reading about all available options, risks, successes and failures but I've bitten the bullet (no pun intended) and have booked my lapband surgery with Dr Dillemans for Feb 27th in Bruge.

Hope to learn a little more from all of you as to what to expect, etc over the coming... well, forever. One thing I've been drilling into my brain is that this is forever. Not a quick fix, not a magic cure, but a life changing and affecting decision.

Look forward to getting to know you all better!

Michaela

Hey you two!! Nice to hear from two good blokes from merry old!!

My mother was a war bride from Welling Kent and my aunt (and other family) is there--living in Sidcup Kent!

I'm so glad to see you've taken the right approach--knowing that this IS permanent and not just another diet to be followed! I really think that many don't research this tool enough and then are surprised when they can't eat as they always have.

My best to both of you from Pennsylvania... :eek:

      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.
