Hello! I am new to the site. I have been banded for three weeks now!

I have been wanting this for two years and I am so ready to loose the weight!

I am going in for my first fill tomorrow and a little nervous but I have heard it is not too bad. I have just been feeling hungry for about a week & a half now so I am ready to get my fill so I can loose some more!

Congratulations on your surgery. Sounds like you are doing great. I also live in Houston but won't be having surgery until proably Sept/Oct due to work/diet requirements. Good Luck.

Hi there! I'm from Houston as well and I am also 29. I go for my consult today at AIGB/true results. Where did you have your surgery at and do you have any suggestions/advice. I'm nervous and excited all at once. I am hoping my insurance won't be a problem. :biggrin:

I had my surgery at True Results too. Everyone there is absolutely WONDERFUL! They explained everything in detail during my pre-op visit and also while they were prepping me for surgery.

Once they got the I.V. in they let my husband & daughter come back to see me until they were ready to take me back to surgery. I was kinda of nervous too, but they are very encouraging there. :cursing:

The only thing I would change was the ride home. My husband brought his truck and I could feel each & every bump on the way home. If I were to do it again, I would have him take my car for a little smoother ride.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions, I know it helps me to talk to people who have been through it.

      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?
