Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor female, 35, banded 2 weeks ago



Recommended Posts

Hi.

I'm new to this forum but would love someone that I could communicate with regularly.

I was banded 11/24/09 in South Carolina. I'm 35, married, no kids....lots of pets! I'm a veterinarian with a weight loss goal of 100 pounds.

Having some trouble being excited about this liquid phase! Ready to get on with it!

Will someone mentor me?

Thanks!

Hi Sara

I'm 5 1/2 years out and would be glad to help where I can. I lost 250 lbs and have kept them off so I promise that following the rules for banded livIng will be worth the effort

"Iquids definitely get old pretty quickly. Are you getting in enough Protein?

Sometimes v8 juice because of being thick and sakty is a nice change from sweet protein.

Let me know how you're doing.itterlady;1373664]Hi.

Hi Larry, thank you for replying.

I hope you won't take offense when I say I'd like to be "mentored" by someone who has been on this program for awhile, but I do wish you the best and will certainly see you on the boards!

      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?
