Hello to everyone

My name is Dianne and I have joined tonight the forum, I had my band done August 2007 and have found the journey hard and rewarding.

:seeya:

I have now lost over 8 stone in 11 months with the band and am nearing my target weight. Since having the band fitted I have found a new man and I am getting married in Janaury 2009.

I am disabled with chronic asthma and work as volunteer with disabled adults making cards and craft work. I really feel so lucky to be working with adults and children and making people feel like that can do things they have never tried. I also make cards and sell them for charity, I am trying to raise £1000 this year for hte charity which is Tubersous Sclerosis.

I would like to make new friends and chat.

Thank you for lettting me join and look forward to hearing from people.

      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.
