Hi my name is Jean Jones



Recommended Posts

I had lap banding in Western Austraila in Sept 2004 so three years four months. I have lost 46.5kg quite slow but it is staying off thank God! I have 14kg more to go hope to reach gaol wieght in 2008. I have ten ml of saline fill in my band and this was inserted 1/2ml a month over a year, it is quite tight but it works for me. I can eat most things just not bread thats no real problem, and I do have some bad days. I have not thrown up for a very long time now. I seem to have gotten used to what I can eat and what I can. :clap2:

HI Jean,

Welcome to LBT. I'm being banded next Tues, so hope that I can post a successful weight loss like yours. I'm hoping to get to goal by Christmas this year - I have 40 kilos to lose. I'm in Sydney.

Jen

      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?
