Just got my band on the 24th. My understanding is that a year or so down the road things get better, the more I read the more unsure I get do you ever get used to it??!!

In what way? I'm a little lost, so therefore can't answer intelligently.

Hey,

Actually I am fine, a little hungry. I have been reading on some sites that some people that are a year or more into this have problems with food getting stuck, choking, irritations. I would think you would be somewhat used to it a year or so down the road. I know it is a total life change but, I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life worried about choking and getting things stuck. I hope I am totally of base!!??

Good Lord....WHERE on earth are u reading this stuff...I personally know people who are 3-6 mos. out of surgery and they are GREAT....I am only since Sept. 15...but no probs, exxcept when I let myself get too hungry, and GOBBLE, and the is MY FAULT.......the band is only doing what it is supposed to do! SO far...I love it....am back to doing all I used to do.....WHAT exactly problems r u having........little secret........some posts everywhere U just do NOT want to read...I call tham the whiners and they can get u down and scared.....Some days I stay away from all sites, just to take a break, but ther is mostly positive here................there are some probs. w/ evey medical procedure out there if u look hard enough, I know, My husband is a Doc ..........U go out there, follow the rules and enjoy being slim and happy!

:biggrin: Joy

      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?
