I had surgery on Dec 22, 2009 and this site has helped so much! This is my first posting. Lets see......4 weeks out and I am doing well.....am really trying to work through the mental part of all of this....don't get me wrong....I have tried for years! I do have a great support team, friends, a dietician and most importantly, my husband.....I work out 5 days a week (I have since 8 months before surgery) and I follow the rules to the 't'. My biggest fear is loosing my hair.... since it is so thin naturally. I look forward to learning from you guys and to having you with me on my journey. :mad:

Welcome, Cookie!! Don't worry too much about the hair loss thing. If it happens to you (and it might not), it probably won't be enough that anyone else will notice. And, after a while, it grows back anyway!

Glad to hear you are doing well and major props for all the working out!! :biggrin:

Best wishes,

Catherine

      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.
