Hi Dana,

I will be banded the 21st! My pre op diet starts next Thursday and will be on liquids only for 3 weeks. My husband has been on his liquid only for 2 weeks now and is doing great...I am so proud and amazed at his incredible will power and determination, he's my true inspiration. I have always been heavy, my Mom remembers counting calories for me at about 8 to get some weight off. My highest was about 310 (to tell you the truth I am not exactly sure after I got on the scale and it was 300 I stopped weighing. I might have been bigger than 310 but I just have to guess). So I have done a lot on my own but after the baby I just didn't loose (I had gotten down to 204). So now I am looking forward to being about 150-160 and keeping it off. For me the band is not only about loosing but then being able to MAINTAIN!

      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?
