Hello to all. My wife and I attended the LB seminar the other night. She decided to have the procedure done also...so, we both are scheduled for our first appointment next week. We are a little apprehensive but will follow through for our own good. Having read some of the posts on pre-op, it looks like the pre-op diet won't be fun, but will prepare us for the surgery. Anyway, we look forward to getting our new "Life Change" underway and reading and posting in this great forum. Thanks in advance for everyone's help and great input.

Hi there Slim,

Welcome to the forum. You'll get lots of support here and answers to any questions that you may have from people that have had different experiences of the band.

You're bound to be a bit apprehensive - change can be stressful. But you are both about to go on a great weight loss journey. I think it's great that both of you are together on this. The pre-op diet was no problem to me. It needed doing so it was done. Simple as that. I remember having lots of different Soups, which was great. It's a year today since my pre-op.

Perhaps you would like to give more information about yourself? Where are you, ages, that sort of thing.

      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?
