Hello from Tempe, AZ



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm Melissa, in Tempe, AZ. I was banded on June 5, 2008 by Dr Nirmul. He is wonderful, though you don't see much of him. I've lost 12 lbs so far. Also, my husband was banded on May 12, 2008 and he's lost 45 lbs since then. I'm just starting to be more hungry over the last day or so. Nothing that I can't handle, just more hungry. Considering I couldn't "eat" (or drink even water) anything the first 4 days or so, I'm sure this is good. I still can't choke down the protien shakes. Probably more because the ones we have taste like soap to me. Guess I need to try something else. :)

Hi, I know this is old, but you are close to me. I am getting banded on 11/24 and I was wondering how you are doing up to this point and your thoughts on it. Thanks

      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?
