Hi laohann...being banded on 1/30 at Abington Lansdale Hospital, unfortunatley their program is closing in April, so I will have follow-up care and fills at Temple Jeanes Hospital. Met Dr Patel, Dr Grand and Dawn at a public information seminar last week and really feel comfortable with them and their program. I have 5 days left on the liquid diet, and have had good and not so good times. Had a headache (carb withdrawal) for the first few days, and am more tired and less tolerant than usual, but am not very hungry. Using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder, Muscle Milk Lite Protein drinks, and just went to buy Trader Joe's low carb, high Protein, low sodium Soups yesterday for lunches. The good news is that my blood sugars are much lower and I am down almost 13 pounds already...which is a great start !

Good luck and keep in touch !

Temple Jeans is where I am having my surgery. I love the people in Dr patels office and they have been very supportive. I have not attended the support meeting yet, but I plan on going Tues. I am also having the headaches and I am so tired. I cheated today by eating 2 slices of cheese. Now I feel guilty & I am hoping that this is not going to happen again. It might e easier once the work week stars and I am busy. Maybe we will run into each other at the meetings.

Let's keep in touch & Good luck to you also

      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.
