Good Morning,

Just took the first step in this journey yesterday....attended a seminar!

I am looking forward to a new life....one that I control....what a concept!

I am a self pay, so anticipate that the process will move fairly quickly.....not excited about spending that much money....but I keep telling myself that it's an INVESTMENT.....in ME!

Looking forward to 'meeting' many of you and sharing successes along the way!

We've all said that what you put out in cost will be redeemed in the money you're going to save on groceries, believe me! The only extra cost you will incur is the whey Protein isolate powder--but that's only about every two months, depending on the size you buy.

You are going to so love the Band and the Portion Control you will have. The Band's rules are tough--but it is all well worth it -- for the sake of our lives!

Welcome and congratulations on getting on the road!! ;)

Hi Harley,

my first step was getting the referral from my GP. Its a little different in Australia. I visit the surgeon's nurse on 13 Feb for the initial visit and then need to wait til October for my waiting period with health insurance to end. I can't wait, it is very exciting. I hope it all goes quickly and smoothly for you.

      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?
