Hi!

I was banded on 9/4/08 and feel pretty good. I am down 20lbs and that includes the 10 days of pre-op diet. My surgery was preformed by Dr. Daniel Lane in Mobile, Alabama.

I am ready now to get moving and get the rest of my weight off!!

Starting weight 240 and I am 5'1. Date today, 9/9/08 220. Only 80 more to go!!!!

Congratulations!!!

You are doing much better than me. I was banded on 5/29 and still have only lost 20 lbs, including the pre-op diet. My problem was that after the swelling went down from surgery I had NO restriction at all and started eating way too much again. I just had my 3rd fill 1 1/2 weeks ago and finally feel restriction, almost too much now. But, at least the scale is starting to slide down again....instead of going up like it was for a few weeks.

      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?
