Wow! This is such an amazing site. There is such a treasure trove of valuable information put forth by the members. I look forward to losing (weight) and learning with my online support team.

I weighed 397 lbs (6ft. tall) pre-surgery. I have yet to weigh, although I get my staples removed today and will likely have to step on the scale. Not sure of total loss but I feel great and my surgeon (Dr. Lee Schmitt) and his team at St. Vincent's were phenomenal. Thank you Veronica Patterson for inspiring me to adopt this healthy lifestyle alternative.

If any newbies have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line. I am sure that I will be soliciting you lap band vets for support, recipes and eating tips.

Good luck all and may God Bless!

Congratulations! Try the Dr. Miles and Dr. Schmitt thread. They are in the office together. The persons participating there are very helpful and are like family looking out for each other.

Hi Rolltide,

I too reside in Montgomery and am looking for a PCP to supervise my 6 month diet. I thought I'd found one, but that was a negative. I'm not originally from Montgomery, but have been living here for 10 years with no PCP. Can you help?:smile2:

      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?
