I am at the 6 month point as of today. Things have gone really well. Restriction has come and gone, but I have been able to ride the waves of hunger. I still vomit once in a while, and am starving other times. Go figure.

I am off all of my weight related meds (high cholesterol, blood pressure and diebetes). I have lost 73.5 pounds. I started at 217. My goal used to be 120 (I am only 4'11) but now I think I want to go a little lower- maybe 110. We'll see as it gets closer I guess. Was hoping to reach goal in a year, and that seems to be very doable.

Well- hope everyone out there is doing well. Just wanted to share. I love my band!

      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?
