Although I'm not new to the site (I've been "snooping" for quite some time now), this is officially my first post. I've learned so much from this website. I just received the call about my official surgery date today so I thought it appropriate to make my membership with LBT official as well. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. My mother and I are going through this process together (HI MOM, cuz I know you're reading this) and I know it will bring us together in a way we hadn't discovered yet. She's always been a big part of my support system throughout my life and I cant' wait to return the favor after she gets her band too. This site is great and I'm glad I found it. Good luck to everyone in your weight loss Quest. May you always seek after the good things in life and always find what you seek!

Love,

AngelicOne

How cool is that - to have a band buddy - and it's your mom!!! Having someone to share the ups and downs with is a special blessing. It's possible that each of you may have totally different experiences as no two people are the same. Be happy for each other's successes and try not to make it a competition. At times you will need need to be the cheerleader for each other. Best of luck and success to both of you!!!!

      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?
