ckelly37 1 Posted August 22, 2008 So i had my Preadmission testing on August 20th and that went well..the only thing that bothered me was this one doctor i saw he was very negative towards the lapband he was tellin me i should get gastric bypass done if i want to lose weight not the band...i told him i was gettin the band done because i want to have 1 more child and if i have the bypass who can gaurantee me that i will lose weight after pregnancy! I told him with the band after i have the baby they can tighten it up 6 weeks after birth and ill be on my way to weight lose again! he shook his head and sent me on my way..i went to the receptionist and asked to speak to the doctor who was doin my surgery and explained how i felt about the way this doctor spoke to me and he told me most doctors dont like doin the band because banders get frustated they arent losin enough weight which i think is ridiculous if u stick to the diet they give u then ull lose (the band is there to help with the weight lose not work against it) eventhought gastric bypass u lose weight quicker i feel if im tryin to have a kid the band is better if i wasnt tryin to get preggers then i wouldnt do the band i woulda did the bypass but thats not the case! so anyway preadmissions went good now i have to start a 10 day clear liquid diet aug 30th and i get banded sept 8th so wish me luck!!

kteggers 0 Posted August 22, 2008 WOW that is crazy how the doctor spoke to you! I'm in the exact same position. I have one child and my only goal in life is to have one more! I know the band is the right choice for me and the right choice for when I get pregnant. Don't listen to him, I wouldn't go back to him! You know your doing the right thing!
