Hello dudes and dudettes!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I have been thinking about lap band off and on since I learned about it a little over a year and a half ago. In the middle of January I decided I was finally going to do something about it. And now here I am and I'm scheduled for surgery on March 27th. I'm super excited!

Hi N....

I am also getting banded on 3/27---so we can be BAND BUDDIES. Are you on any pre-op diets? And will you be on a 2week post op liquid diet, if so do you have any suggestions????

Good Luck

I have to go on a clear liquid diet the day before and for two weeks after. I havent really looked into any recipes yet. I think next weekend i'm going to search for some to print out and make my own cookbook. =D

      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?
