Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself! I've been researching lap band for two years now, and I am ready to take the plunge. I have my first info session on January 28th,and I can't wait! I've been a "lurker" on here for quite some time, and am looking forward to joining in on the bandwagon!:kiss2:

Hi!!

I am from MA to!! I attended the Dr. Glasgows seminar today and I have my first appt. next week. To tell you the truth I never really thought about lap band, my husband said I have been brainwashed from watching a Big Medicine marathon, and all the other obesity shows. I am tired of being the chubby girl, I have difficulty losing weight because I have PCOS so need a little help. I am just hoping for the Best!!!

Oh man, I have PCOS,too. It makes things so difficult.That's one of the major reasons I'm getting this surgery-I want babies someday!

What hospital does Dr. Glasgow work at?Are you excited?

:mad:PCOS really sucks!!! All of my symptoms are under control except I can't lose the weight, it is so hard. I am so tired of being the chubby girl!! I have 4 kids, I think I was lucky with my pregnancies.

I am very excited but at the same time scared of getting dissapointed. What if I have insurance problems or something:(( I hope not!!

(Waving from her corner of Western MA.) Hopefully I will be on the lap band wagon soon too. Just waiting to get in with my primary to get the process started (again).

      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?
