I just wanted to say think you to all the others who have posted after they were banded. I read this forum daily while trying to make the decision to have the band or not. I did not get a lot of information from my surgeon, and most of what I have learned has come from this web site of books recommended by the people on here. I did wonderful because I took the advise of the some of the posters that made good suggestions and it made a big difference in my recovery and the lady who had hers done right before me on the same day. Please don't stop helping others like you have helped me.

Once again, Thank You to Everyone and the people who started this web site.

:)

Sherry, I am glad everything went well for you.

I have to agree, LBT is a fabulous site. I remember how wonderful it was when I was first thinking about the band to know I could come here and talk to people who understood where I was coming from and who were already experienced with the band. It truly makes a world of difference and we have a wonderful community of people here.

Sherry and Susan, I have to agree with you both. I love this site and it has taught me so much, good and bad. It is a fantastic resource for all of us, from brand new, looking into it to banded for years.

Sherry, glad you're doing so well! I have to say I've been much more confident in my decision and feel so much more prepared than I would have otherwise. I was NOT scared or nervous the day of surgery! Shocking, I know! Part of the reason is because of this site. I knew what to expect, not having EVER had major surgery before. The other, large, part is my faith in GOD and knowing HE was looking out for me. Best wishes to you on your continued journey!!

      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?
