Going thru the process



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone. My name is Page and I am currently going through the steps to get my Lapband. Due to insurance I have to do 6 months of diet guidence. I am over half way done. I have joined Curves so I can kick start my diet. I have been a big person all of my life and I am ready for change. Not to feel pretty but to be healthy. I want to change my life style so that I can climb the moutains and swim the seas. I am scared to death. But at the same time I am afraid of another failed diet. Any support and advise would be appreciated. :thumbup:

Relax, you'll be amazed how quickly that six months will go. You'll have all your pre-op appointments and you'll have time to read everything you can before you go into surgery. I was suppose to wait 6 months and somehow it got moved up to 4 months. I didn't ask questions! LOL In fact mine moved so fast I didn't have but one week for the pre-op liquid diet. POOR ME! Good luck and keep checking back here. This site has great info.

      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?
