excited and seminar booked



Recommended Posts

Hello! I am new to the site, and haven't really done anything like this before. I am scheduled for a seminar next week. Really looking forward to this journey. I feel a little scared about all of this and would really appreciate some feed back. I know I need to do this and get back to the living. Look forward to reading your messages.

I think this procedure is right for me. I am diabetic, type 2 and have been trying to lose weight it seems like forever. Oh, I loose some then gain it back. But I know that the diabetes would diappear if I could just keep the weight off. Seems like I can never get past 15 to 20 lbs. I am getting really excited about having this done.

Hey welcome to LBT, I did my research for about a year and decided what the heck I will go for it , so I went to a seminar and went from there my insurance was a little flip flop at the time , they didnt know if I had to do a 6 month diet thing or not so I had to wait needless to say, then I got a green light in Aug and then ended up changing doc which slowed the process down becuz my first date for surgery was 09/19/08 but that was put off I am now with a new surgeon a better one and next wednesday I am going in to have it done finally!!!!!!!!

good luck to u and welcome

Hi Chrissy. You'll find a lot of great info on this site. I'm a pretty new bandster, but it's been an amazing tool for me so far. I feel like I have a new lease on life. I wish you all the best on your road to good health!

      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.
