Hi all, Im David from Cali and I was Banded June 3rd in the OC by Dr.leporte's office through LiteDimensions. I am now posting as Im just starting to feel human again as the pain and gas was wearing me out, I still havent eatin much and my Water intake isnt that great but getting better. I have droped 15 lbs post op pounds and 10 pre for a total of 25 lbs. Im happy! My goal is to drop 130 more and Im cool.

I am excited about it and understand its not the magic bullet but a great tool to get me where I want to be. I have studied the Lap and Bypass for 2 years before I made a decission and for me the there was no option here. Well i hope to learn more from all of my fellow bandsters and hope to make some connections here as well, you see that Im very free and friendly too :thumbup:

Hi David

Welcome to the forums and congratulations on getting banded; Sorry to hear you've had a rough few days, but glad to hear you're starting to feel better!

I'm 27 and from Australia, due to be banded on 18th August 2009 - I live in an area where there are only two surgeons who do banding, so I have had quite a wait! As someone who has never been to hospital (except to be re-hydrated on a drip after falling ill), I am absolutely terrified of the surgery but believe I am brave enough to do it.

I look forward to sharing your journey!

      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.
