Hello I am new here



Recommended Posts

Hi all..I have been attempting lap band surgery for two years. I just changed insurance almost a year ago that would allow lap band or gastric bypass. Of course then it has taken me another 6mos to get my paperwork in order. Now to lose the 10 lbs to get in line for surgery. I am having a hard time. I am doing Jazzercise 3-4 timea a week but I guess I am still eating too much because I am not losing much.

I am new on here but thought even though I have had the band would say I hope all goes well for you and you manage to loose the weight you need to have the op.:thumbup:

I've never understood why some doctors require a weight loss before surgery.If I was able to do that I wouldnt need the surgery.My surgeon did not require this.

      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?
