Hello Simon.. Thanks for the response.. I have just gotten my research done and happy to make the decision to move forward with the banding procedure. I have just made an appointment with Dr. Chua in Milwaukee.. Not sure what to expect next. So.. I was hoping to find someone that could help me. I have books done more on line information sites, and yet I don't know what to expect at this appointment. I am one that likes to be prepared and kind of know what will happen.. So any insite you can offer I am all ears. Not sure where you are having the procedure, but I assume it is not Milwaukee.

So you will be official in two weeks.. how long has it been since your initial visit? Hope to hear from you more as you continue and I begin.. I am sooo excited.. I feel good about the decision and the hope for the future..:tt1:

Congratulations on your decision to get the lap band. I'm a 5-year veteran and can tell you it was the best thing I ever did!! Good luck!!

MacPa90 -

I have to admit I am getting very nervous about the surgery and what it will mean to my lifestyle. I have my meeting with the doctor, exercise trainer and nutritionist today. I am not looking forward to the next 2 weeks on the liquid diet stage but I know it's necessary. I too have spent a lot of time researching lapband to know as much as I can before I do this. I'm having it done by Dr. Marc Erickson, of Fort Atkinson. Good luck on your journey. Simon

      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?
