I'm getting banded on the 7th and I'm soooo excited. I had a much more serious surgery a year ago and understand your concerns. This surgery has such minimal risk I have decided to focus on what the day will represent, "A new beginning"! We are about to change our lives and a year from now will be happier and healthier than we have been for some time. Picture yourself a year from now and where you'll be. Please post again after surgery and let us know how it went. You'll do great.

      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?
