Hi :biggrin2: My name is Donna and I'm in Texas. I am married with 3 grown children and 1 granddaughter (4months). I got the lab band Dec. 2007 and have lost 45 lbs. I did have to get a revision in Feb and I lost a lot of weight then and kept it off. I got the flu and could not hold anything down even liquids. I am ok now. I have gotten lots of fills and unfills but right now I am at 4.8, I think I will stay there. I also have good days and bad days. Guess you can say I am still getting use to it. Dr. John Gonzales put in the lapband at True Results but when I got revised he went to WeightWise and I am still there because his nurse went with him and she is great with the fills. I still have lots of questions about the eating. I am still on pureed foods or very soft foods.

      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?
