Im a 33 year old mom of two. I just had my first appointment to see if lap-band will even approved for me, but I have my fingers crossed! I should know more next week. Ive been over weight my whole life and to be blunt, Im sick of it. Im sick of my joints hurting, my back aching and hips screaming at me when I walk a mere block down the road. Im tired of wearing ugly clothes and not being able to see my feet. So its time to do something about it! :regular_smile:

      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.
