Hello again... Everything is still going well.. I have lost 42 lbs but now that I am at the 3 week mark I am starting to get hungry again... hmm guess I really need to be careful now. I don't want to gain any weight before I get my first fill in 3 weeks:) Hope everyone is doing well

Those are some pretty impressive number!!

Just remember to keep doing what you are doing and follow the "Band Rules" as things slow down some ('cause if they don't slow down you are gonna waste away to nothing in no time at all)....lol

Good luck and let us know how things go for you!!

      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.
