Hi Ashly,

I'm from the Valley in South TX but I'm getting banded in San Antonio with Dr. Patel. How are you doing? Any worries or knowledge you want to pass on to me?

Im actually doing great! Ive had no problems at all and can eat pretty much anything i want right now. I have no trouble getting anything down. A couple times i took a bite of meat and didnt remember to chew it well enough and it hurt like hell, but besides that...everything has gone down good. I just got my first fill today, so we will see how that goes. I just try to get my protien in and not eat any junk. I eat mostly meat and veggies and Soup. Thats been my menu for the past 4 weeks :unsure: I did have nachos on saturday night because we were out with friends and i was craving them but i only ate about half of them. Thats been it as far as anything other then what i cook.

Dont know how much that helps, but thats how ive been doing it!

      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?
