new pre op

Hi just looking for someone to talk to about bariatric surgery? 

Hi I'm no expert but I don't mind talking....

Hi I just started my classes and everything is so overwhelming I don't understand a lot of the terminology used on here but it seems like everyone is really supportive and that's what I'm looking for any knowledge about the lap band will be helpful

I'm having Vertical sleeve, I don't know anything about lap band, but there is a forum on her for lap band..

I do not have the Lap Band. How's your current health? I have Kaiser in CA and they phased out doing that type of procedure since they found issues for patients over a longer time period; lots of data. They teach about RNY and VSG. Know all they types, learn as much as you can before your surgery date. The WLS is a tool and will work for you, for the rest of your life. It will eventually, and for the long of it, be your choice on how you use it. You can also listen and watch people who do video-journals on their journey (You Tube). I recommend them too. You cannot have too much information about this subject.

Hey, I'm new as well. I am scheduled for my SIPS procedure on 1/23/2015. I am so excited, but I don't know many people who have had bariatric surgery, so here I am looking around.

what is sips?

It's similar to a duodenal switch, its Stomach Intestinal Pylorus-Sparing surgery or SIPS. There are a few people here who have had it done. Its a relatively new procedure.

Good morning, wishing you the vey best with that. May God lift you up and carry you as you make these decisions and I pray for a speedy uneventful recovery. Blessings from maandme
