I had the lap band surgery in April without any major complications. Frustrations about lack of weight loss has lead me to your site! I look forward to learning more from everyone and hopefully soon being one of the happier patients who have posted! I posted a thread in the fill sections about the issues/frustrations I am facing!

Otherwise Lap band has been great and I give it praise for forcing me to slow down while I eat and actually enjoy my food. I have found that instead of being the first one finished I am now the last one. This has also forced my family to remain at the table longer so we can enjoy discussing the happenings of the day and world.

The only thing I really miss is not having a soda pop of any sort. That has been the hardest thing for my brain to let go. Although I have been soda pop free since my 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.
