I am new to this community. I am 26 and live in the Houston area. I just had my first appointment at a lapband facility. If everything goes as planned then I should be looking at getting the band in Jan. I hope to learn a lot from this forum!

Thanks!

Welcome ! I started here late Feburary or early March and learned all I could from those that had already been where I wanted to go. The information was a big help in making the decision. I asked alot of questions before deciding. I had my lap band surgery on September 23 and have lost around 30 lbs. I went home the same day (that was a surprise) and had mild pain but nothing as expected. I am still learning how to deal with the "changed me" but I am sure glad I took the time to learn before doing. It is life changing for sure. Best to you :lol:

      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.
