hi, i'm just starting the process of the LapBand surgery. I have attended the seminar, sent in my application, met with the coordinator, have to loose 13 lbs before surgery, and now I have appointments with the phys therapy and the phyc eval next month! I'm really excited, but apprehensive because I have 3 kids, 15 1/2, 11, and 3 and my husband works ALL of the time! So the recovery is a concern for me, but from the research that I have done, I believe that I have made the right decision. please let me know how everyone else has done if they hve had the proceedure done, or if you are waiting like myself and would like to just be supportive of one another:smile::thumbup:

      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.
