Bariatric Support Group

So tonight I decided to go to my first Bariatric Support Group Meeting at Plano Presby (actually the name changed, its like Texas Health Plano Presbyterian Hospital now). It was good to go and get an idea of what I am in for with my upcoming Lap Band surgery. The group was pretty split between those that have had the Lap Band vs the 'sleeve' (the sleeve is where they actually cut out part of your stomach to make it smaller) vs re-routing (aka Gastric By-pass). Most of the people had their surgeries in Dec or Jan. There was one person that had it in July and a couple people that had it in Sept of last year.

Well they didnt scare me off with their stories yet and I did pick up a few tips for when I have my surgery. Only 2 more weeks!
