Hi Everybody,

I'm Anngie ,I live in Alberta and I am 35 yrs old. I've been lurking around forums for a few months now and finally decide to jump in and say hello. The info here is great and so is the support you give each other. Been fighting with my weight since my early 20's. I was diagnosed with PCOS with insulin resistance last spring. My Dr said at this point WLS was probably my last option. Really happy to learn about the Lap Band, gastric bypas was to scary for me. Not banded yet still reserching DR. any good references for doc's in Mexico?? I look forward to chating with you all and learning from you experiences.

Hi Anng, You will find lots of helpful people on here. I am in Australia but have been to your neck of the woods on 4 occasions. I love Canada. I'm being banded tomorrow so I will be able to tell you all about it when I am back on here in a couple of days. Good luck with what ever decision you make. Read all the good and bad on here before you make up your mind.

      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.
