Hey ya'll I was just banded on 4/18/08 (yeah, one week down!). My starting weight was 200 lbs and I am hoping to lose about 75 lbs and get down to 125. The first week was a little tough, doing just Clear Liquids but I added some mashed potatoes to my diet today and felt a little more satisfied. I am still having massive pain in my left shoulder from trapped gas, but hopefully it will vanish sooner rather than later :w00t: I am so excited for this journey....

Congratulations on doing so well!!..

I was banded on the 16th and know exactly what you mean about the mashed really hitting the spot!! At least they did with me!! *giggle*

I am feeling better and better every day and I am sure that you will too.

Keep up the good work and you will reach your goal!!

Nancy :w00t:

Hi,

I was banded on the 16th . . . and I was counting down the days to mashed and mushy. Today I had tuna (pureed) I think it was the best tuna I ever ate (lol). I still have a bit of gas pain in my left should as well, walking is helping and gasx! Good luck . .

      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?
