im 5 week post op & its the best thing i have ever done to help with my weight.... why are you terrified of the pre-op ? . They will weigh you, ask you lots of questions, talk about the procedure etc etc..

do you have a lot of weight to lose ? are you self pay?..

im sure everything will be alright for you.. keep in touch

Hi there Scotland. I've always wanted to visit. My grandfather was from Glasglow. Maybe some day I will. Don't be worried I am almost a year out and have lost close to 60 pound. It is well worth it. You still have to work at it but it's alot easier to stay on a program with the band than without it. I know I would have gone back to my old habits if it weren't for the band it keeps me in check. good luck ( I'm in The Los angeles area)

      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.
