hello deevah and shelly. welcome to both of you. You will meet alot of people here who will help you along the way. I am barely starting out myself and already I can list 20 people at least that I can count on for solid advice, as well as general posts that so many others will jump in and help with. You came to the right place. Where in Colo are you at? I am in NM not far from the Colo border and you guys are really sharing your snow right now. Brrrrr....

Hi Amy - where in Colorado are you located? I had surgery July 12, 07 in Pueblo. I couldn't be happier. I have a wonderful surgeon/support staff here.

Hi Amy,

I had my lap band surgery 7 days ago. Dr Kirshenbaum is my doctor too. I had my follow up appt with Dr K today and met a nice lady who had her surgery a month ago. She told me about this site so I was just checking it out. I am feeling like I need support. Let me know if you have any questions.

      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.
