Hi,

This is a cool site I just hope I can figure it out!

I want to have the band. I met with the Dr. today. It is exciting to here I'm a good candidate,but sad also.

I think I'm ready. I just look at every meal now as one of my last!

I look forward to this web site and all the info on it.

Have a great night.

Dianne

Hi Diane & Welcome to LBT

Glad you are here, this is a very informative site. I'm sure all of your questions will be answered here :)

I just look at every meal now as one of my last!

Not to worry about that with the band, thats the great thing about the band, you can lose weight and still enjoy food! ( you just wont be eating as much :)

Hey Sunset...HERE'S your intro! Sorry I missed it...so glad to have you! I hope you will be able to make the get-together being planned on the NC Forum...you will surely find out the real scoop there! I have been banded for almost 3 months and by the time we gather, I will have had my first fill. I'll tell you everything I know!! It's a quick trip up 485 to Concord, so I'll be looking forward to meeting you. Hope you can come!!

Welcome Dianne!

Don't worry we all felt that way I think! :D I still eat everything I did before banding, I just gave up bread, etc. because of the extra calories. It really is worth giving up a few things to lose the weight!

Thanks for your replies.

Can you explain to me what everyone is talking about when they say slime and PB? Is there dumping?

I had my endoscopy yesterday! I'm getting closer! I just need that report and a few others and then it's off to the insurance company!

      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?
