Starting the process!
I had my upper GI and it is no surprise I have GERD. I am starting the process for gastric bypass. I had my first of three monthly nutrition sessions today and have a sleep study coming in the mail to complete at home. Looking at first part of March before I get everything gathered and approved (Humana Medicare). Dr. Says there aren't many hoops to jump through. Most testing, etc are her requirements.

Once your swelling goes down you will be able to eat more. I am, most days, up to 6-8 ozs each meal.

Well, when I had the band it was definitely ice cream but since my revision I am. Delighted to say that ice cream makes me very ill . So far, no slider foods for me.

RE: Getting Closer
I had the band and it caused horrific reflux when it slipped and caused a hernia. In march I had the band removed, hernia repaired and the sleeve all in one surgery and no more reflux since that day!
