Goodl luck to you. I'm also starting the process. I have an appointment with my PCP on Friday so he can fax all my "stuff" to the lapband dr. I'm having all kinds of anxiety, I'll be excited and ready, then I get nervous.

Hi! I am also going to Dr. Daly. I am set for surgery next Monday June 9th. Have you been given a date or are you still in the "process". I liked him a lot from my meetings and can't wait. Good luck!

Hi I'm in SC. I'm in the process now of getting my psych evals knocked out and then I can meet with my doc. You'll get great support here. The people are open and are ready to tell you all about their experiences. So far the process has been easy but I know all this is the hard part it is after surgery when the real journey begins.

      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.
