Hello to all. My Name is Audrey,Iam 69 years old, have been married for over 50 yrs. We have 2 children, 7 grand children and 1 great grandchild . I started looking at the Lap Band about 2 yrs ago and was banded on 2/12/08. Dr.Hodge in Johnson City TN was my surgeon. My highest weight was something over 300lbs. Istoped getting on any scale as my weight went up. My weight at time of surgery was 270 and my present weight is 205. I have had 4 fills. I swim 5 days a week, and I use a personal trainer.I am filled with gratitude for my surgeon, my family, and all the people on LBT that have helped my journey. Enough.:biggrin:

      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?
