Hello All,

I am LauraSue - living near Boston with a surgery date of 9/30. My surgeon is Dr. Hess and I am nervous about life with the lapband.

I appreciate any post on your experience post surgery and after.

Thank you.:)

Howdy there and welcome! This is a GREAT place to read and learn! The band was the best thing I had ever done ~ Wish I had done it sooner! Good-luck to you :thumbup:

I'm getting banded on August 6th. I can hardly wait to start my new life. I'm not really nervous, just eager to learn as much as possible. Still trying to learn how to use this site...so much learning! :confused2:Thanks for any information you'd like to share!

Hi - I am having my surgery at Boston Medical Center. I needed to wait for the appropriate time from work. I am glad to have the date scheduled. As I read more and more I become more confident. For those who are having surgery before me - I will keep you in my prayers. My bigest issue now is to try and develop my new eating habits before I definately have to.... I want to get uswed to it.

Thank you for your posts.

Peace,

Laurasue

      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?
