Hello Fellow banders



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

My name is Emma and I live in Auckland, New Zealand.

Banded in September 2005 and have currently lost 48 kilos or 105 pounds and would like to lose a further 20 kg.

Start weight 152 kg 335 pounds.

I had a baby in April 2007 which would not have happened if had not had this surgery. Gained 20 kilos during pregnancy and lost soon after.

I have had no issues with this operation and it is still the best thing I could have done.

Hope to talk to many of you.

Emma

      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.
