Lise-

So excited for you. I too am in Seattle, going through Dr. Oh in Federal Way (work in Seattle, live in Puyallup). I'm tentatively about a month behind you in the process. I hope it's going well and you are well on your way into recovery by now!!

I will be thinking about you!!! I sure hope all goes as planned. I am being banded 3/13 and starting to be concerned about the 2 or 3 weeks afterwards and how I will do. I hope to go back to work in a week. Those of you who have gone through this, is this possible? I have a desk job but I am 64 years old so my age has me worried a bit. I am getting mine done in Evansville, Indiana which is about 20 minutes from where I live.

      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.
