Hey! I wasn't banded in August, but thought I'd share this link with you - it's the link to the subforum on this site for August 2009 bandsters.

Yea I was banded July 13 2009. It's been a great experience for me. It wasn't my first surgery at all, I've had 2 kidneys removed among other things so the surgery itself was a breeze in comparison. I think the toughest part of it all is that it's such a mental battle. I have good restriction now so the band is doing it's job, but I have to battle every day to make sure I do MY job and make the right food choices. Each day it gets easier though!

Hi there. My name is Bill. I'm 31, from NY, and I am getting banded this thurs, 8/27. I like your idea of a support group....i guess a little closer than those on the forum already...

My email is givempils@aol.com.....I'm really glad I found this site, its been really helpful so far. I'm really excited for thursday, and the liquid diet isnt really that bad...I dont mind it at all...

I'd love to email back and forth with a few people so i can have access on my blackberry in the hospital.......this site works too slow on my bb.....

I hope i havent come across as weird.....Shoot me an email soon!

Thanks,

Bill:tt2:

      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.
