Hi---due to some weird hernia problems, I now have a lap-band and no idea what to do. I could use some pointers other than very, very small meals, heavy on Protein, etc. They say they may be able to "fix" it ==after they "fix' some other problems.

In the meantime, I am very frustrated--I could stand to lose the weight ( and a bit more, actually), but how does it stop, what do you do?

This has been going on since Nov. 08 and the weight loss has slowed down somewhat.

Am also not too proficient on the computer----

thanks mjawc

I think what the poster is trying to say is that the hernia is causing a "lap band" sensation. That was what I understood.

Is this correct?

      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.
