Hello, my name is Tawna. I am 22 yrs old, I have 2 little boys, and I have been happily married for 5 yrs. I have researhced the lapband for awhile now and I am going to see a doc on tues. I am excited, but nervous, the more I read on it the more I want it, and I am worried I won't be approved or something. Anyways it should all go okay. I am looking for someone to talk to about all the stuff to come. Thanks a bunch and I would love to hear from you.:biggrin2:

      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.
