newly banded in New Hampshire



Recommended Posts

Yes folks my time had finally arrived on 5/19. Its been a while since logging on here, been working on this since August of last year. My Bariatic program just kept putting me off and now know how people can lose hope. Having lost 40 pounds before my 2 week liquid diet I was ready and pretty frustrated. My liquid diet kicked my butt but lost another 20 pounds. Now that Ive been banded I know the time was good to restructure my diet and prepare myself. I now am ready to start and make this "Tool" work for me. Everyone needs to keep they`re chins up because the day will come for them also. Thanks for the ongoing support.

Congrats! I'm in NH also waiting for my day. I just started the process and I'm hoping to have it done in July, but we will see. I've heard a lot of stories of people having to wait longer. I'm ready for a change and hoping the process moves along. Keep in touch! What hospital did you go to? I'm going through Portsmouth.

My hospital was Elliot in Manchester with Dr. Gould. The Bariatric classes were @ Dartmouth Hitchcock also in Man. I found that my inns. was the only hangup, so they say. When I called them in Sept. 07 they were only waiting for DHC to call for approval. It really does`nt matter anymore it`s Water over the dam! All I know is it was very informative & it really is up to you so be dedicated to change your life and it will work.

      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?
