Hello, My name is Donna

I am new here and figuring out how to post on this website is awful confusing, so I hope this comes through.

I was banded on 3-10-08 by Dr. Cook in Hickory, NC.

I just had my 5th fill on 08-08-08

I am down 48 lbs.:thumbup:

HI, Your post came through fine. I'm sure you'll find this a helpful web site. Make sure you bookmark it and use it like a how to book. All your questions can be answered here! Currently I'm using it to find out what to eat daily that's different from what I was eating.

Also like you I have had my 5th fill but in July. That was the best. I now feel restriction and that full feeling. I also have had a little trouble with it because I have been trying to drink to soon after I eat. But I'll get better at it.

Good Luck, you'll do great!!

      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?
