Good luck to you. And Kudos for losing 111 lbs. If you can do it on your own, you will have NO problems with the band. You will be doing great in no time.

Wow congrats to you also sooclchic. And Congrats on your surgery. You should also be fine since you have lost 70lbs. You will do great!! Don't be to nervous guys. It's honestly not that bad. A little painful but use your pain medication. That's what it's there for. Not everyone experiences the nausea. I didn't. And most of all, make sure you walk after surgery to get rid of the gas which can be a little painful.

Good luck to both of you.

      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.
