How long will it take?



Recommended Posts

I am getting grief at work about losing weight...It's a long story, but my priority is to do what is best for me and I actually started looking into this process before the issues at work came up. I am looking to get banded as soon as I can if it is the best choice for me. Anyone on the site from NH and what is the shortest turnaround time from start to banding that you have heard of? Thanks!

Wow! That's quick! I am hoping to get through the process pretty quickly. The pressure at work is getting old and the quicker I get started the quicker I can start feeling better about myself...

Moe,

Losing weight is very personal and the process takes as long as it takes. That means that your weight should be no ones elses concern except your own. Are you seeking surgery to save your job? :)

Losing the jerks on the job usually takes no longer than a 2 week notice. That's pretty good turn around time in my book!:mad:

Much success to you as move toward a healthier you.:smile2:

Thanks for the imput everyone:biggrin2: The weight loss issue has been an issue my entire life, but I wear a uniform and unfortunately they do have a say...That being said I am going to do what is right for me and nothing they can say will change it. I'm on a 20 year plan and it's not as easy as quitting, but on the flip side they can't just fire me for it either. I just am the type of person that likes to move forward and in this case it is win-win, I get in better health more quickly and the people at work will be happy too. THanks again for the imput. I am looking forward to Wed night getting the process started with the info night...

      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?
