Quick question for anyone out there... I just found out that I am going to have to be on the road for 3 weeks straight travelling to numerous conferences throughout the states. I'm not travelling with any one person but no one I will be meeting with is aware that I have a band.

This past weekend I went camping and became quite sick and didn't really eat at all. I'm worried about this happening when I am travelling. Yes, I will admit that I have been stressed for the past few weeks (don't reno your kitchen when you have a band! :blink:) and I was just getting to my fav time of the month but STILL! Grrrrr....

Does anyone think I should get a temporary unfill while I travel or am I just being wimpy & making myself stressed by overthinking about it? I have flown before but being out of my comfort zone always makes me a tad anxious now that I have the band.

Thoughts?? Thanks for your time!!!

I travel every week and I am normally 2-4 hours from home by plane. I asked my Dr. to give me a name of a Dr. in the area where I travel to in case I have any problems. Also, my Dr. is cautious about my fills since he knows I travel every week for work.

Great question and answer. Thanx. I start a new job in September, and there will be travelling 2-3 days most months. I was wondering what to do.

You guys are great.

Thanx again.

      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?
