Congrats SoCal! I'm glad everything is working out. Have you lost 80 lbs. in a month? It seems pretty impossible, but that's what your ticker says, so I thought I'd ask. :thumbup:

God no I havent lost 80 lbs in 1 month I lost 72lbs on my own preop My heaviest was 315 and I was 243 on the day of surgery. Thank you for the well wishes.I have lost a couple more lbs since i had my adjustment. I am working out now gonna go on a jog in a little bit.

I had my first fill today!! It wasn't as bad as I thought. But once he got there it took all of 5 minutes! He did my fill by flouroscopy so he knew exactly where my port was. I didn't have any numbing meds just alcohol, it tickled because everything was cold. It was cool watching the screen and the balium(sp?) float around in my body.

I am ready to enjoy this my step in my journey.

I don't get my first fill until Jan. 21st. I am almost 3 weeks post op and have NO RESTRICTION at all. I feel like I never had a surgery at all. If it weren't for the scars I would be wondering if this was all a dream. LOL! Hope that fill fixes things, because right now it's all on me and Christmas I was bad. LOL!

      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?
