February '09 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

It's fairly certain that I'll be having the surgery in the beginning of February, any one else out there making the biggest change in the shortest month?

I am seriously thinking about having lap band surgery this year (hopefully Mar/Apr 09. I have been to the free seminar but that is about it so far except a lot of internet research. I have heard more positive then negative regarding the band. Good luck on your surgery in Feb. :tongue2:

      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.
