I was banded on Jan 3 2008 by Dr. Tarracino In Newport News, VA. I have lost 18 lbs and it has been 12 days. I was in a lot more pain then i expected after the surgery. That was hard cause i have 4 kids ages 8,4,3 and 9 months. Plus I do home heatlh care and and am 100% devoted to my patients. It is getting easier everyday to get use to the change but soon I will be at the next stage. I need some ideas of things I can eat cause the only thing that comes to mind is BABY food and BLENDER SURPISE! I know a few ppl who have had the bypass but no banders. My hubby and friends try to help me but they just arent cuttin it. Any suggestions on food and making things easier? WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME FEED BACK!! THANKS!: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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
