My journey begins



Recommended Posts

I am new to this group and was referred by a good friend who's a member and just recently new to the LAP-BAND®®®® journey. I started my journey about 6wks ago which would be late Sept. I am currently down 40lbs on the pre-surgery low carb/high Protein shake diet.

I still have a long way to go due to my high BMI but i'm hoping to be successful even at this pre-surgery portion. I'm looking for all of the encouragement I can get and am glad to be part of such a wonderful support system as this one.

Love and blessings,

Amour

      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.
