Recommended Posts

I am not banded yet, I have all the paper work completed and meetings completed. My mindset is good, I do enjoy looking thru all the postings, sure does help. One of my biggest fears was logging on here and actually writing something. Phew, I did it, I only hope I did it right. I am in the prosess of loosing the initial 10lbs, I have lost 4-5 depends on the day. A bit nervous, My friend had the bypass surgery in march and she is doing great. I so want to be loosing too!

Don't start your diet until after you weigh in on friday. They will take your highest weigt and measure from then. So enjoy your week. The best advice I could give you is get all the paper work in, all your test completed.. the meetings are very helpful, and you really do need the time to mull all the pros and cons.... take care!!

      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.
