I might as well start by saying that I need (and want) the band. But since I've talked to my insurance and they couldn't tell their butts from a hole in the ground, regarding a six month diet, I thought I might as well start it right now.

I have joined weight watchers and will tell my doctor and my shrink the next time I see them and I'm also keeping records (I'm just doing the online thing) and hopefully they will say, "Aww, you don't need a six month diet!"

Hopefully you'll accept me into your little group! I'll be here for a long time!!:biggrin:

See ya soon,

JRG

Hehe why wouldn't we accept you. This is for 6 month diet people that's exactly what you're doing. I just finished mine yesterday but I know what waiting 6 months is like so I wish you looooots of luck

I just have this thing in forums (even in society) that somehow, I'm always in the wrong place. Like, people don't want me there. But, that's all in my head (I'm getting treatment for that, so it's not as bad as it was).

Thanks LJM and Froggi for welcoming me!:crying:

I also lost 4 lbs so far, so it's not bad!

Hey, good luck on insurance and your future surgery!

      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?
