It is so hard to believe that this time next week I will be BANDED !!!!! Doing okay on my preop, loosing 23 lbs so far. My only fear is the liver shrinking issue. Reading restlessminkeys story has kept me going. Thanks to all my chat friends for keeping me inspired and laughing. I LOVE this site, it has answered so many of my questions and calmed all my fears about this surgery. Thanks to everyone and God Bless

Lora -

Congratulations on doing so well on your preop diet! I will be banded March 10 and have lost 12.5 pounds on my preop diet so far. I haven't really been hungry, just more bored with the choices I guess. I am sooo craving salmon! You'd think it would be chocolate or chips. Go figure :) It's hard for me to believe that after all these months my surgery is next week as well.

Good luck with surgery - look forward to seeing you on the boards!

Lora - Hey my Florida Neighbor!

Yes!!! We only have 1 week to go! I'm so excited. I have followed my doctors instructions exactly. I'm also nervous about the liver thing....

Best of luck to us both! :cursing:

Are you all March 11 banders? That's my date, too. Aussie Trace is a March 11-er, too. If you're an 11-er, let me know, and I'll add you to my friends list. I would just love to know how it goes for you all, and I am so excited for us! We are going to be skinny and healthy and fun! Woohoo!

Hey Ladies !!!!!

Today is pre-op at the hospital. I get my surgery time today !!!! I am still so excited. Wednesday can't get here quick enough. I know I'll be sore and have to bounce back after surgery but I am ready to get to my "sweet spot" fill and start seeing results. I know sometimes it takes a few fills to get there but I am so so ready. I am excited I have new friends that will be on this exciting jorney with me. Stay healthy ladies and keep in touch good or bad. Here is my email so we can keep in touch lora.hedrick@duda.com.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
