Hi I am will be getting banded soon, I hope. One question I have is about life changes. So are popcorn, celery, all soft breads, completely off the eating list forever? I can understand the soda but the rest of the list? Thanks for the info. JuneR:confused::ohmy:

Every one is different June I have no problem with Popcorn..most of it is a personal trial issue you need to see what you can tolerate or not...also every fill changes things a bit.... the ultimate goal is to give you maximun restriction without causing pain or vomiting. My third fill was the trick I have had a fourth 1cc and now I'm taking three months until my next visit.

God Bless,

Ken

You won't know until you try these foods. Try them with caution, lots of chewing and in small amounts. I can handle rice if I'm careful. You will know quickly if you can handle them. SS

The key here is in your second sentence. Life Changes. You have made the decision to change your life and that will involve changing what and how much you eat. The cool thing is the band is a fantastic tool to help you make those changes. You will find that you don't want to eat the same things as before. I would have to say that I do not feel that I am "missing" anthing, except maybe beer :ohmy: I can eat just about anything in smaller quantities but i am amazed by the things I no longer want.

Good Luck

Craig

      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?
