Thanks Olivia_99. Good for you on having the fish and veggies instead of the pizza. Pizza is one of my favorites so I can imagine how hard it must have been. Have you been banded long?

That's great. I am still waiting for approval, The insurance wanted the last 2 BP readings sure wish I could use what it was last night (191/98). They had to request the surgeon to resign the verification, someone else had done it and the insurance wanted his signature. Dud, who would have thought. Right now my "walking" consists of our dogs walking us but it's a good work out.

I love snow, we don't get much here in TX. It was 28 Sunday morning (we were RV camping) and it supposed to be mid 80s Thursday. Go figure.

      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.
