Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I could use a buddy!



Recommended Posts

I am almost a year out from my surgery. I have lost between 60-70 pounds...not bad I know, but I have had some complications with my band needing to be emptied, refilled, then recently another fill, and another (small) unfill. I know I have not been following the program, eating WAY more & the wrong foods! I really let my exercise routine slack to near nothingness as well..:wink2: I was doing SO good up until recently, well before the holiday season & now I know I need to start again & get back to basics! I have been avoiding the lap band board, which I used to be read & try to post DAILY since I have fallen off the wagon, so to speak.I REALLY need to get back on track, but all I feel like now is beating myself up over my recent failures & at the undoing of what I have worked so hard to acheive up till now.:( Any help woul be greatly appreciated!

I am ready to start anew!:thumbup:

Thanks!

      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?
