I was banded two years ago this May. I am very happy with my lapband.

I have lost 65 pounds. I went from a size 20 to a size 12. Life is good.

I love trying on clothes in the morning now. They actually fit!

I have no high blood pressure= no medication.

I have low cholesterol now, so no medication.

My sleep apnea has improved.

My feet no longer swell. I am more active.

It's the best thing i've ever done for myself.:crying:

jillia. Congratulations on your success!! Do you ever have trouble PBing or sliming? What foods do you need to stay away from now? I'm being banded next week and am a little nervous about life with the lapband.

      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?
