Hi there!!

I am fairly new to the site and it's taken me til now to find there was an age specific area. I just turned 50, 10 days ago so I guess I qualify! I am due to have surgery on the 12th of June but I find out on Monday if it is going to get moved up to the 5th or 6th. Very anxious to get to know everyone here. It still feels strange to say I'm in my 50's, does every generation go faster or is it my imagination? The 40's seem like they went by way too fast

I don't know what happened to my earlier reply, but I'm in Pueblo Colorado, just starting out in this whole process! I'm being banded at Penrose in colorado Springs. It is exciting, isn't it? Just to know that I will be healthy is enough for me. Of course, being Hotter is a great by-product! LOL Keep in touch

      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.
