Hi Toots, I haven't been banded yet so no help there--but on the home page if you scroll down there is a section for post op questions.......... and further down, age specific support groups. There's lots of information here about your problem--keep looking.--and good luck.

I'm scheduled for Dec 4th---- have been reading this forum for a couple of months now and have a much better idea of what to expect, positive and negative.

The "normal" experience seems to vary greatly so it's helpful to read the postings in different subforums......

I'm looking for support groups to go to in my area too.

Hope things go smoothly for you--- and we can all look forward to a Happier and Healthier New Year!

Toots what you're feeling is normal unfortunately. They call it bandster hell. I promise it will pass once youre able to get fills. You just have to stick to the plan the doctor gave you for post op and you will be fine.

      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?
