HI ALL,

I've just been banded and while there are a few support groups in my area, none are specific to the lap band. Ninety-five percent of participants in both of our local groups are RNY patients. BANDSTERSF are different, we have diffent needs and our weight loss is slower. This slower weight loss, when meeting with a group of people who have lost 40 lbs. in 40 days can be discouraging, frustrating and regretable.

PLEASE....if you live in any of the areas mentioned in the title, send me an email here, or to ramgon254@aol to start a bandster only group. RNY'ers and other bypass members do not understand hunger, waiting for a fill or anything else about banding, and I'd like to be more supported.

Thanks so much for listening!

I work in Palmdale, but live near Porterville in the San Joaquin Valley. I'm in Plamdale during the work week and am looking for a midweek support group there.

      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?
