I remember being in that stage of the banding process , when it was just a thought. I am just here to tell you how wonderful it is... I was so nervous to do it and even had a hard time to believe it would work for me since nothing had ever been sucessful. You can do it !!!! You should check into it asap because there is alot of work to do before you can get the surgery.. meetings and appointments to complete the required things. That way you can learn as you go to see if it is right for you. Just know that you can do it if you put your mind to 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.
