'cause that's the day I had my surgery too! Had my first follow up since surgery today. Doc said my incisions looked great and gave me the go ahead to go to the soft, moist food stage. Definitely ready for some variety in my menu.

Had planned to be off work for 4 weeks but the way I'm feeling think it's going to be a lot quicker than that.

So, hello Wendy and all the other March 20 something other bandsters!

Congrats on your surgery and on the way to a healthy new you. What an exciting journey you are taking. I am just starting the process myself. Go to an informational meeting 04/01/2009. So you can inspire me as I go through this.

Again welcome and congrats on your banding.

      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.
