Hi. My name is Anne and I live in McKinney, TX. I'm reading all I can about banding and I'm really excited! I'm scheduled for July 14th with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico.

Jasonsmom,

I changed my mind on the band and got the sleeve 9 days ago. I'm still on (supposed to be on) Clear Liquids which give me no energy at all. I should have waited until I could take full liquids before returning to work. :)

Otherwise, all is well. The experience overall was great. How about you?

Everything went okay. I can't imagine going back to work on Clear Liquids. I only had that for 3 days and had no energy. It will be two weeks tomorrow for me and I am really just starting to feel semi like myself. What made you change your mind to the sleeve? My Dr. wanted to do that but my insurance didn't cover it yet so we stuck with the band...

Jenn,

I changed to the sleeve because I didin't want to have to find a doctor for my fills since I had my surgery done in Mexico. My BMI was only 31 so insurance wouldn't pay.

      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?
