hi diana,

welcome to lapband-land. glad you are on the way up with your recovery.

generally, in the beginning, people join the group of people that are banded the same month as you. this way you can check and see how all of you are doing and any issues rise and potential solutions.

of course you can join any special interest groups but sept 09 group may be a good starting point.

under the general forums, you can find the groups by month

good luck with your band

September 2009 Band Date

Hi Diana, have you added your date to this post? There are a lot of us going through the same journey, banded 09/09. I think you asked about week 3 in another post? I'm looking forward to low-fat ricotta with marinara and a sprinkle of parmesan for week three. Also fat free refried Beans with cheese and maybe salsa.

      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.
