Hi Everyone,

I am a new member and I am VERY EXCITED to be here with you all and VERY EXCITED to be scheduled for my lapband on May 27; day after Memorial Day. Doesn't that suck!!?? Anywhobewhattie, I am going on my 5 day liquid pre-op diet starting that thursday before all the way til my surgery that tuesday. OH WELL!!! Are there anymore May 27th 2008 scheduled bandsters out there??? Oh, oh question -How do I create my weight scale thingamajigger? I've been reading a lot of threads for the past few weeks and had to pull myself from this site because some members had me "SCURED" with some of the after effects of the surgery. But, i'm back, still committed and even more so determined. If I don't get this surgery, instead of being called sunshinelady, they are going to call me postallady:cursing:!!!!!! DO YOU ALL HEAR ME??!!!!!!!!

Thank you for letting me introduce myself(did I really?) and I hope to get some good old fashioned bandster feed back from you all.

Hi and welcome to LBT! Only a couple of more weeks until you are an official bandster, YEA!!

Don't be scared by the complications threads. Remember, people who have problems come here for support. The majority, who are not having problems tend to fade away from the boards after a while and are out living their lives and enjoying their new health.

Here is the thread for how to add a ticker to your signature:

Keep us posted on how things are going. We are excited to get to know you better.

      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?
