6 weeks post surgery



Recommended Posts

I am new to this site and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Penny. I had my Lap-Band surgery 11/28. My pre-surgical weight was 240lbs. I am 5'6". I lost 15lbs prior to my first fill which was yesterday.

Everything is going perfectly at this point. I am satisfied with the variety of foods I can have. I am very motivated to maximize this opportunity and use this tool (lap band) to make the most of my efforts. I do toning exercises in the morning and cardio over my lunch hour.

I have two children ages 1yr and 7yrs. I am a single mother working full time so it is not easy to make the time but I do it because I know I need to.

My physician is Dr. Michael St. Laurent of Journey Lite in Houston. He is fantastic and has a high interest in his patients getting the best results.

Wow, sounds like you're a very busy woman. Congrats on the surgery and on keeping up the motivation and follow-thru. I am waiting to be approved.

      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?
