Yeah!!!!!!!! I got a date!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I was just told I have a date of June 5th! I'm so excited and so scared at the same time. I must have thought about calling everything off about 4 times today!! But the fact is, is that I really need the band. I'm 6 feet tall and weight 381 pounds. I am pre-diabetic and have been under going D & C's every 6 months as well as Progestrone treatment as a means of preventing my pre-uterine cancer from progressing to full cancer. My doctors have told me that everything would improve if I was to just loose the weight. Also too, I really want to have a baby or two. Did any of you go through this wishy washy prior to your surgery?

Hi Joanna and welcome! That is wonderful that you have a date.

I never doubted my decision to get the band. I was so excited at the opportunity to change my life, I just couldn't wait for the day to get here.

Hi Joanna! I think most of us go through some amount of indecision at some point. I know for me, I had to do LOADS of research before I finally made a definite decision and then I was afraid to tell anyone for the longest time (including DH!). This is a major decision and it's only atural to second guess yourself along the way. This site is a great place for information and support, so please utilize those resources as you try to make a decision.

Good luck and let us know what you decide!

      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.
