just beginning the journey

I'm in the very beginning of the lap band journey...the six month diet for medicare. I'm very anxious and want to do this asap. I'm 59 years old and want to see my grand children grow up. I want to be healthier and be able to walk for enjoyment without giving out. I've lost seven lbs and I'm walking several times a day. i have incentive, though. I admire all of you for the hard work youre doing since your bands! I can't wait to be one of you. My husband is going to do this with me and I think that will make the whole process easier. Is anyone else in Mississippi and did anyone else go medicare?

281 lbs in beginning...274 now...duweb:smile:

Hi, I just got my letter from the Maine Medical Bariatric Program and I am going to the Information session Monday. That will start my process. I have been waiting for this for 3 months:biggrin2:. So I have been dieting for that amount of time. I have only lost 4 lbs:embaressed_smile:. I am so excited that I am going to the meeting monday that I can hardly wait:biggrin:. Then it will be the wait for Meicare and Medicaid to approve me and the doctor ,hospital.:thumbup:

      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?
