thanks jack what you said really made sense, but i am still going through all these emotions which i know will pass, its weird that food can take over your life and control the way you look and feel...i think thats the hardest thing to get over but i am excited in alot of ways and i cant wait to have the surgery done, i wish i had it already so maybe i wouldnt be this confused and all my expectations would be gone...i am also scared that i will never be able to go out to dinner with my boyfriend and friends again eating is really a big part of my life as dumb as that may sound ....i just wish i didnt eat so much but hopefully that will change as soon as i have the surgery....i am interested in hearing what anyone has to say to me and i wanna listen to what anyone wants to vent about

thanks again

soon to be lapbanded christine

      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?
