I had my lapband done in the end of Jan 2008.

My lapband surgeon was Dr. Mehta. I have lost about 70+ pounds . I need to loose alot more finding it a bit hard so thought I could meet other people to chat with who also had it done.

Hi Carole, I am new here too.. Was just banded last Thursday. My Surgeon was Dr. Michael Snyder, Denver. Doing OK, but thought I would feel much better by this point.

Hi Carole, and congrats on your 70lb loss!! My name is Kerri and I was banded in Maine on March 19, 2008. I have lost about 50- ish lbs, and I too am finding things wayy harder. I would like to lose another 50-60lbs and seem to have lost my ambition along the way.. I am really frustrated with myself.

I used to be on here all the time, but since I've been struggling I've kept to myself. I need to do something different.. So here I am!

      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.
