Hello from New York



Recommended Posts

Hi I am getting ready to meet with the surgeon on May 1st to discuss and pick the date to get my surgery done. I am almost 30 next month married not even a year and have 2 children. A 11 year old daughter and a 3 1/2 yr. old son. I am not sure on what surgery I want to have done yet. I am still contiplating that. My friend just had the band put on at the end of Feb. and thinks that would be a better choice, but told me to check this board out. So that's my story. I hope to get a lot of info and know exactly what I want.:confused2:

lisa, I am a ny'er too and getting my procedure done on staten island. I wish you all the best you have taken the first step which is usually the hardest. This is a great forum, you will find a wealth of information and benefit from many other peoples experience. I spent a lot of time over the last month reading in the various forums on this site and learned more real life applicable information then I got from the half day class I sat in. good luck

Hi Lisa! There is a wealth of information here and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. There is always someone around who will usually post a quick reply. You might want to check out this thread Lap-Band Surgery Frequently Asked Questions - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support too, as it contains a lot of useful information for anyone new to the idea of weight loss surgery. Good luck in making your decision and keep us posted on what you decide to do!

      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.
