  1. First visit with my surgeon yesterday, confused...

    Determined Deb posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    Were any of you set on getting banded only to be manunivered toward the Gastric Bypass by your surgeon? I have Barrett's esophagus and years ago was told I had a hernia. I have not had symptoms of either since taking Prilosec for over 10 years. My surgeon whom I liked very much, told me 30% of banded patients have reflux and the bypass is the only real way to keep gastric acid out of the esophasus. This is not what my GI specialist told me. He said the LB is a "cure for Barrett's". I'm not sure who to believe. I have known the GI for over 18 years. Any info you can send my way? :drool:
