Come on over to the March 2008 or April 2008 Monthly Support Group threads. Its really helpful to see what others are saying that are going step by step through the same things you are in the same month.

Plus we have our little nickname for March 2008 Bandsters of Shrinking Shamrocks --kind of like a little club nickname. I bet the April folks are coming up with one too. Just haven't gone over there to look. When you see others posting, you'll see their monthly nicknames like Victorious Valentines, New Years Knockouts, November Nymphs, etc. Its just a way to have some fun.

Best wishes to all.

      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.
