You are soon to learn that you did anything *but* taking the easy way out.

But what if you did? What if you did take the easy way out? What's wrong with that? Do you stand all the time or do you sit sometimes? Isn't that taking the easy way out? Do you live in a house with electricity and running Water or do you live in a cave? Isn't that taking the easy way out? What about transportation, do you take a car or bus when you travel or do you walk? Isn't that taking the easy way out?

Assuming for one minute that WLS is the easy way out, what exactly is wrong with it?

just feel like I should have tried harder and longer on my own.

I was also banded on June 29 '09. My tummy has been making crazy gurgling noises too and I am starting to get really bummed about this liquid diet. Everyone today is having BBQs with family and friends and I am staying home alone because I dont want to smell the food or see people eating it! As far as Soup, there are only so many kinds and I am running out of new things to try. Ugh. I was afraid I had made a mistake too, but I am sticking it out. Counting down the days 'til I can have some blended food. Yumm. What will I have first? It's good to hear from others going through the same thing.

Yeah I must be crazy because I'm going to a friends house today because I'm going crazy being home. I'll just bring my liquids with me and if I can't take it I'll come home and whine on here some more.

      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?
