I'm new here, but not to the banding world. I was banded in March of 2007 and lost 88 pounds, in the first year in the second year I gained 30 of it back and have been very frustrated. My band is properly filled I think becuase if I eat correctly I do just fine, it is the junk food, the slider food that I can get through just fine, you see I am a stress eater, and I have had a horrible time with jobs lately, I am a mortgage banker, and I have basically been unempoyed for the past 18 months. So I have been eating a lot of chocolate and just junk. But today I found out that I am anemic, Guess what your supposed to eat when your anemic......protein.....meat.....guess I better go back to the band diet, what do you all think????? LOL.....Lets see if with some new support (that would be you all) and better diet (that would be me) how I can do?

Its nice to meet you all, hope to meet some new friends on here.:)

      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?
