I am getting my band on 4-24. I am nervous about this. I have been out of work with back problems since January 3. I sit around the house every day with nothing to do. I am supposed to be on a pre-op Atkins diet. It is very hard to just sit around home and not eat. What do you guys do to keep your mind off of eating when at home?

I find that watching tv or being on the computer, reading a book, isn't enough to keep me from eating. But some kind of a hobby works wonders!! even if you don't have a hobby you can always start one. ANYTHING to keep your hands busy.. if you have no aptitude or knowledge for crafting you can always do something simple from premade kits like latchook rugs or paint by numbers. And kits for these aren't all that expensive either. Plus you get the added bonus of the great feeling you get when you made something :)

Gratz on your upcoming surgery!!!:):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?
