Hi all!

My name is Tiffany, I am 23 yrs old, an AirForce wife, college student (graduating w/ my bachelor's in 10wks, continuing on for my Master's), a Mommy to two beautiful little girls (Mia 1 & Jordan 3), and was banded on May 19, 2008 @ 285lbs.

I decided to join this site in search of support. My husband is exceptionally fit (32" waist), as are my mother (sz 4) and sister (sz 6). I just feel that I don't have a people who can understand what I am going through and where I want to be. I hope that I can find that here in my fellow band-sters. I'm looking forward to getting to know alot of you and making tons of friends =)

~Tiffany

      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?
