My First Nsv!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited! I went out to dinner with a large group of people and was COMPLETELY satisfied with a few bites of Soup. It was VERY good and I enjoyed myself alot. Normally I would have been having the cheese sticks, and steak and a baked potato, and probably ordered desert because everyone else was having desert! My scales haven't moved for a week (and i'm on full liquid) but it still felt really great. Almost as if I know that even though I don't appear to be dropping weight I know it will come in time. The best part about it was that I did not feel as if I was missing out on anything! I was happy with what I had, before I feared that I would be looking at the steak thinking "why did I do this?"

Well done Jini! Well done indeed! Not everyone looses during the liquied phase; indeed, it is a time for healing above all else.

Once you move to solid foods you will find that the scales lie and tell you that you have gained wieght, when in realiity it is your colon is that full again.

Congratulations! It's always great to get those little surprises.

I was a little down because when I went to Thanksgiving dinner no one really said anything about my weight loss even though they hadn't seen me for like three months. I got happy again though when I went to get a passport on saturday. The lady took my liscense with a photo and said "wow, you lost a lot of weight". I smiled and said "yes, I did, thank you." I was so happy.

      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?
