Hey all! My name is Elizabeth, you can call me whatever nickname that comes to mind :thumbup:. I'm 26 years old and I'm from Staten Island, NY. I'm in the process right now of getting all my tests done (and there's a ton but worth it) before surgery. As it states in my profile I'm not really good at telling stuff about myself but I'm very open to answering questions. I look forward to getting to know everyone around here and I definitely can't wait to start posting about my progress in my weight loss journey!

Hey Eli! (You said anything... :thumbup:) Welcome to Lap Band Talk. This place is great for questions and finding support. You might want to check out the special subforum for people who are in their twenties...I personally like reading more about people in my age range because it's more relatable, y'know?

Do you have a date scheduled for your surgery yet?

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely check it out!!! I'm hoping I'll be able to have surgery by late April or early May....crossing my fingers!!

Hi Elizabeth,

I am new as well. I was banded 12/1/09. I have to say it feels good to feel full fast and be able to concentrate on other things besides what to eat next.:thumbup:

      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?
