Good luck to you in your journey from another Washington State Mom - of 2 girls to chase instead of 2 boys. I hope things go smooth and you get the information you need.

And speaking of chasing, I had to run down the hill with them today to make it to the bus on time this morning. Luckily it was the last day of school. And I think I might need to shop for a few new pants since I almost lost mine on the way to the bus stop...

I have been able to steadily lose weight with the band. I have been nervous about some of the things I had read here - like food getting stuck and vomiting. So I have not filled my band yet. But just know it is there has helped me change my habits significantly. And there is a lot of good information here and through most offices about how to best work with the band.

Again, I wish you lots of luck with your journey.

Hello and Welcome :lol:

The road to surgery for some can be a trying time but it is very rewarding :tongue:

      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?
