July 29th at 0700 is my surgery date also (in Phoenix). I'm traveling from Albuquerque to get it done .( No lap band MD in Albuquerque) . Hope I don't have any complications. I'm also nervous and excited. Can't wait to get started on a new way of eating and living, but kind of scared also. :biggrin2:

trialsnurse - I am your biggest supporter!!!! :ohmy: I am soooo excited that it is finally your turn. Can you imagine our before and after pics at Christmas.

July 29th bandsters: Good Luck!!! And get ready for a new you. :blushing:

Get up and walk asap after surgery to help keep the gas at bay.

(I did use a few Gas-X strips.) I did not think it was that bad. But, I compare it to my hysterectomy 3 1/2 years ago. Hysterectomy was really rough. Lapband not so bad. Walking was the big key. I did not do it for the hysterectomy. It thought the gas would kill me:ohmy:

      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?
