I finally decided to join and make my first post. I hope I'm doing this correctly, using this site is kind of tricky. Anyhow I have been on here "listening" in since June. I didn't want to join until I was further along in the process. Well that 6 months has flown by and I have a surgery date. I'm excited and want my band in place like yesterday! My doctor is putting me on Optifast :thumbup:, I'm afraid I will do someone bodily harm for a piece of chicken by the end of my first day:lol:. But I know it is for my own good, too much belly fat.

Speaking of fat, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was wondering about back fat (rolls). Has anyone that has lost a bit of weight experienced sagging back rolls, or do they melt away. I know this is a strange question, but I have been dying to know.

While I'm waiting for surgery, I'm trying to decide if I want the Lap Band or the Realize Band. Well, I guess that is enough for now. Bye!

Thank you smsmithart for such a quick reply, I thought I was the only one up this time of morning. I'm glad to hear that it does go away. I hope I have the same experience.

      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?
