Recommended Posts

hi everyone!!! my name is alison...i am 28 years old...i was banded on 12/2 by dr. hanna here in las vegas, nv. i dont feel i have been very successful thus far and am definitely down in the dumps about it...i am looking for some sort of support...preferably here locally, however via email or phone would be nice too...most of my family friends are skinny so although they are supportive, i just dont feel they can completely relate to what i am going through...i hope to hear from some of you soon!!! take care and good luck to everyone on their band journey!!!

Though I'm not local to you, I noticed nobody has replied to your post yet, and just wanted to offer some hugs to you.

This is your healing period. Changes are taking place, and many people don't see them right away. This is the time for you to be gentle with your stomach while it recovers from the trauma it just experienced. Soon you will start noticing differences. It may not be a change on the scale right away, but possibly extra room in your pants and so forth.

Please don't be discouraged yet. You are already on your way to a successful journey, and I wish you all the best!! I hope you find someone nearby that can bring you some comfort. If not, there's lots of great people here that are always willing to listen!

Congratulations!!!

      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?
