Hi Sally,

I also go to Holland Barixs Clinic with Dr. Schram and I had my surgery in Ypsilanti becuz they do not have a surgical center in holland? but my fills and consultations and things like that are done in Holland. I live in Dorr and my story about the Band really isnt too successful I had it in Sept of 07' and have only lost about 30lbs :) in 9 months at one point I did ask Dr. Schram about a revision to the Gastric Sleeve but he said it is just like the Band and he said lets make the band work!!! Alot of it and I mean Alot of it is my fault I have a HUGE addiction to Regular Pop and I really dont know why I cant let it go!!! All I wanted for the longest time was to have the Band and then when it happened I'm not giving it my all? So that is pretty much my story boring!!! So whats your story? How come you had the surgery in Mexico? When? and How much are you down? Let me know

Take care hope to hear from you soon,

Angel

      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.
