Hi Renee,

I was banded on 10-21-08 at NYU. First 3 days were very painful, but i am getting better. Taking short walks. I drink clear broth, Slimfast thined with skim milk, herbal teas, but not really much. Cannot wait when I will feel fully recovered! Going for a check up on Wednesday.

I was banded 10-24 in KY It still hurts under my left breast like a ______

I am not or do not seem to be having gas problems. I just want to know when it will quit hurting. I have been Clear Liquids now for 3 days Tomorrow cream Soups thinned down of course, but a flavor and warm will be good. This board has helped so much the last few months. Kathy

      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.
