Oh my gosh! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I just got word today that I am approved for my LapBand surgery! I just can't believe it...I don't have a surgery date yet, but should find out this week! My journey through this has been quite an experience, and am so happy to be joining your group to share all of this with. I know I'm new here and no one knows me yet, but I look forward to meeting you all!:tt1:

HI!

Well, my journey was somewhat unique...started over a year ago, had to stop, and restart. After I restarted, it took almost 6 months. I had my psych eval, dietician, exercise physiologist, etc. already. I hope we are down to just another EGD and the liquid pre-op diet, but I'm not totally sure!

Either way, I am SO ready for a new life!

Thank you for replying and sharing my excitement!

Congratulations! I was just banded on Jan 16th and I have already lost 14 pounds. I just can't believe how great I feel! I am a diabetic and I am barely 12 days out and already not taking any insulin or oral meds. I hope things go as well for you! Good luck!

Ooohhh, I want to be like that! That is amazing! I'm a little worried that I'll be like some who've posted that they are like 4 months out and have only lost 12 pounds...I've got big plans for a new wardrobe and a Tummy Tuck and going on a cruise and...and...and...LOL!

      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?
