How is everything going so far with your lapband procedure? How do you like Dr. Hamn? :rolleyes: He is my surgeon, and so far I like him and his staff.

A friend of mine at work had Dr Hamm as his surgeon and had good things to say about him and his staff and the followup support.

I just came home on Tuesday from my lapband surgery. I stayed one night at the hospital and I am so glad I did because they monitored everything for me. Now that I am home, the only thing that has been a little tough is the gas pains. My left shoulder really hurts sometimes, and I was told to walk out the pain (gas). My first night home was scary because I was running a 102 temp that was most likely due to chest congestion. This is common. As soon as I started walking around and coughing up stuff (I know this sounds aweful, but it is important for fellow lapband patients), I was better and my temp went down to 99.

I am still on the phase 1 total Clear Liquids until tomorrow, but I don't crave anything else, and my husband is cooking all sorts of goodies in the kitchen. In fact, I feel really full. I know it will probably get tougher when I can start eating more, but for now. no problem!

The most awesome thing is my blood sugar levels! I was diabetic on oral meds and my blood sugar is now 126 compared to 280+. My goal is under 120, but above 80.

I hope this helps everyone. Dr. Hamn and the staff at Plano Presbyterian was wonderful!

:sneaky:

      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.
