I like reading what everyone has to say about the Lap band. I'm so ready to be banded. I'm waiting on the insurance to approve. I know they will but it can take up to 30 days before they respond. I know that when i get my date i will feel more excited than i do right now. Best of luck!

Hi!

My Dr. is Dr. Ben Tribble, with Baptist Hospital. I called your group back in May but their receptionist was sooooo rude I never called back. I used to live in downtown Cola. and have had all my surgeries there so I wanted this at Baptist also. My friend had RNY with your Docs and she loved Dr. Strickland! When is your surgergy? Mine is in ???in Sept!

      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.
