Well after 3 long years of waiting....my Lapband surgery is at hand. I have to be there at 8:30 in the morning! So excited I can hardly type. I want to say a special shout out to B and to let you know that I will wish you nothing but a speedy recovery. Be sure and warm Dr. B up real well for me and may both our surgerys go smooth as silk. MaseAnn, may your surgery go smooth as well! I look forward to being on the losing side very soon!!! I am thankful I found this board, you guys rock!!

YEAHHHHHH KERI!!!!! Oh Keri you are going to love the mixed cocktails. Once they put it in your IV you will be in la la land and when you wake up there will be ice chips with your name on them. Ummmmmm you are going to be amazed at how good you feel after surgery, just real druggy so don't fight it and go back to sleep

May God stay with you, our prayers are with you.

Congratulations, Keri!! You'll do fine - just make sure to rest up while you have a chance (if your house is anything like mine you can't rest at home lol) I'll send some happy thoughts your way :rolleyes:

Let us know how you went, when you're feeling up to it.

This is my first post, so most of you don't know me. I only found this site about a week ago, but boy have I learned a ton from all of your posts. Kari and I will both be banded tomorrow. I'm so happy to have met a band buddy through this site. My procedure is at 7:30, so I'm getting the doc all warmed up for Kari! I hope to post some more after I get back on my feet.

      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?
