Erin, I have to say, you are an amazing young woman! I wish this had been an option for me at your age and I wonder if I would have been brave enough to do it. I give you kudos for taking control of your life now. And whatever hell you go through this year with band problems, worries or whatever, it will be so worth it when you are the smoking hot 20-something everyone is lusting after. :) And remember, we're all here anytime you get worried.

I hope you have a kick-ass school year!

hugs,

BWS

Hey Erin,

Don't quote me on this because I may not be correct. My mother-in-law had surgery on her esophogus and they thought she may have to be streched from norrowing. So I think this is something that happens from possibly scarring or the swelling from haveing surgery and then the opening is not large enough. I don't know how common this is, but your definitely not alone. I hope this helps and doesn't scare you more.

God bless you on your journey to a healthy life.

Nora

      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.
