best of luck to you!

check with your doctor on when you can progress through the food stages - every doctor is different.

remember when you get to solids to CHEW CHEW CHEW and eat slowly.

thanks folks with all the congrats and well wishes.. and defiantly prayers

All in all it was smooth sailing

at least my Dr's part!

but...before you go NPO the night before

DRINK YOUR Water

it's was 11:30PM before I got home and was almost admitted :wink2:

because I couldn't pee before I left..

Doc was called several times and I ended up with a french foley

one time drainage system..:frown:

anyway the Doc said that if I didn't pee before 7am at home(an hours and a half ago)

that I was to immediately call him:sad:

I did call him to tell him I drank a half gallon of Water between 11:35PM until 3am and

went 4 times before the call time of 7am :thumbup:

so DRINK YOUR WATER a LOT of it

before you go NPO for the band

      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.
