Hi,

i'm new here, I have my consult with the doctor tomorrow.

I'm excited and I cant wait to get this started.

I married 4 boys 3 grandkids. I have been overweight most of my adult life.

I have been reading up on all the questions and answers everyone has posted.

I too hope for good news from the doctor..:w00t:

Hi Tina,Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I live in Upper Marlboro. I will have one of the surgeons at Walter Reed.

I have a long way to go before I get the surgery.

Thursday I am going to the support group.

Hi Busy...you're not too far from me. I'm in Waldorf. I had a lot to do to be approved for the surgery myself. I had to have six months of a supervised medical weight loss program as well as psych eval and EKG. Believe me...it's worth the weight and the hard work. I love my band. Welcome to the board and good luck with everything. Keep in touch!

      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.
