My name is sharon and I am 3 1/2 months post banding and have a total of 30 lbs (13 pre surgery and 17 post sugery. I am very discourage right now because I have been stuck at this weight for over 2 weeks. I had a fill in late july early August. Does anyone else out their have bowel issues? I have to take MOM to have a bowel movement. I do't like having to be dependent on something to be able to go then I have the runs. I was taking 2 Fiber Choice a day and Colace, but still the only thing that works is MOM and then the the runs occurs.

The nurse at the doctors office says this is normal. I just hope this will not be an ongoing problem. I go back to the doctor Monday Sept 29th for my second fill and hopefully back on track to continuing weight loss. I exercise four times a week.

      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?
