New and already starting crap...



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm new...born and raised in Texas...and already rubbing people the wrong way. But, I think that a difference of opinions is one of the greatest way to get to know others! Not doing it on purpose, but when I don't agree with something I will say my piece and defend it, unless I honestly am wrong, then I will fully apologize and ask to be educated further.

Ok, so now that that is out of the way, I was banded Dec. 23, 2008 and have thus far lost 21 lbs. I am looking forward to finally getting some control in life back, and I hope to learn from you guys, (because this is a big, big thing for me, and I admittedly need help). So, thank you all in advance, thank you whoever started this forum, and I hope to make some friends and learn from some great people.

:confused:

Hi there tater (heehee, J/K). I'm assuming that by "rubbing people the wrong way" you're referring to that "I ate a burger" thread? If so, forget about it!! People on here can usually agree to disagree and move on.....So welcome to Lapbandtalk! I think it's great that you're already diving in and posting. Let your voice be heard, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

hi & welcome & congrats on your weight loss..Its good to have an opinion of your own, the world would be pretty boring & dull if we all agreed all the time, but im if there is one thing we can all agree on here is, were all here for the same reason & its nice to give encouragement & support where needed...

keep up your good work

      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?
