I'm Geneviève, 35 years old. I had ma surgery june 19 2008 so it's been 3 months. I have lost 92 pounds up to now and I love my lap band. I am so please to have decided to get the surgery. I have waited many years to get to where I am now and I don't hate any regrets.

So I hope to have a place here.

Hello from North Dakota.... You lost 92 pounds in 3 months? How in the world did you do that? That would be wonderful, but I was led to believe that was not a possibility... I have lost 40 since I started pre-op, which is six weeks ago and am feeling good about that. I'm hoping for about 10 pounds a month from now on... Do you have a tight fill already? Welcome to the site...

the 3 weeks before ma surgery my doctor put me on a liquide Protein diet (900 calories a day) and during those 3 weeks I lost 50 pounds and after the surgery I hade lost a other 42 so in total it's 92 pounds.

Usualy I lose around 3 pouds a week.

I had 1 fill 5 weeks after my surgery I had 1.5cc put in my band, and nothing after because my weight lost is good

      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?
