Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 28 years old and was just banded on September 2nd! I am the happiest I have been in a long time. I am finally seeing results (yes, already!!!!) and am limited on the amount of food that I am able to eat. Sometimes I really have to force myself to eat. It's hard. But I am still on the puree restrictions and will soon move to the mechanical soft part of the diet. I love to hear stories of success and what has worked for people and what has not. I am 507, and my starting weight was 290 lbs and at my 1 week check up I was down to 277. Not bad for the first week!!! I don't think. I look forward to hearing from everyone, and feel free to use me as a buddy support. My goal is to loose 100 lbs in a year. Is that realistic? :sad:

Hello all!

I am a 36 year old mother of 3 girls. I was banded on Sept. 2nd also and feel great! I'm in Texas and my surgeon keeps us on liquids for 2 weeks, then progress to pureed for 2 wks before starting soft/tolerated foods. I started this wonderful (yet a bit scary) journey at 217 and am already down to 200. The compliments have already started and it feels so good! Hope to hear back from ya'll. Feel free to email. Andrea

      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?
