Hello everyone:) I was banded on April 6th and had a hard first 2 weeks but now that I'm on my way to recovery I feel like I made the only choice I could.:rolleyes2: I started my mushie stage and that is making me feel even better with something other than liquids in me:tongue:. I am excited to begin this new way of life and never look back for my kids and for me:biggrin: I really have enjoyed this forum because during the tough times it is so nice to come on here and know that u are not the only one going through the same issues, it really has helped me.

Congrats on your surgery and on getting to mushies!!

You've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Also, not sure if you know but there's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - in case you'd like to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time.

hey mommyofthree bandster sister! I was banded on April 6th and I was told 4 days of clear liquid, then 2 weeks of full liquods... can't wait for the puree in a week. Glad to know someone else who was banded on the same day!

Really glad I did it. I feel there is a very real possibility of freedom from food. I have been reading a great book called "eating the moment" I highly recomend it!

      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.
