Hello to everyone. I just had my surgrey on Aug 24, 2005. Was so excited when they called with the date to have it. Glad its done, just hope to do good with it. Thats what makes me nerves is the thought of it not working. Glad you all are here for me to talk too, cause I'm going to need you. Thanks Pam in MIssouri

Hi Pam, welcome to LBT!! Everyone has the same concerns, you're not alone. Just take it slowly and be patient, it's not an overnight change. You'll do just fine, and we're here to sympathize, empathize, and possibly answer a question or two along the way. You're on your way!! :)

Hello from Florida. I have been banded for a little while and lost some weight (still have a lot to go). I wish you all the luck and be easy with the new you, this is a very new and wonderful thing. You will most likely push the limits but who hasn't, Sometimes I still do, thank God those are few and far between. Don't get too hungry, when I get hungry I eat too fast and that's a BIG no no. I am happy for you that you have found this web site soon after your banding, unlike me I just found a month ago now. I am so happy to be in touch with people who are like me and have been through some of the same pain. Keep the faith, and the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Peace for the south Butch

There are several of us who are new to this, and I think we all have the same fears. Let's hang in there and see what happens!

Wishing you great success!

      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?
