So i only have 2 1/2 more days before my banding and starting to get really nervous. I have waited so long for an opportunity like this and i am so blessed it has finally happened. Im 22 yrs old and i think its the right time in my life for this. Im single and hopefully this surgery will help in that area. im so excited!! if anyone has any advice, id love to hear it!!!

just wanted to send you some good vibes. Stay positive and have people to rely on during recovery. Also bring a pillow to the hospital for the ride home. The bumps are the worst.

good luck hun.

Congrats, you will not be sorry. I was so nervous I almost backed out the weekend prior to my surgery and I am so thankful I didn't. I was banded on Sept. 15th 08 and I weighed 434lbs at time of surgery and I am now at 325lbs. I still have a lot of work ahead of me but I will get there and you will to. Don't give up and don't get discouraged. I wish you all the best. Also don't sell yourself short if you think someone don't want you because of your size then that person is not worth being with. When you find the right person for you it don't matter about your size, shape, clor or anything else.

      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.
