Since surgery.....getting taller



Recommended Posts

Ok. not really. but I always assumed I might have gotten a lil shorter because years ago I went from 34 to 32 inch inseam on my pants. This is a NSV because i need to go back to 34 inch inseam because I can wear my pants higher up my waist, where they should be.:)

I am opposite, my pants are starting to drag the ground. The only thing I can figure is that my legs a bahookey aren't as big.

I had an all out fight with the lady at Weight Watchers once, she measured me at 176cm. I have been 179 cm tall all my adult life, and even before, since I was about 15. I didnt like being 176 because it meant I needed to lose even MORE weight than I thought.

Years later and I'm being measured and weighed a year down the track from getting banded at my yearly check up. Lo and behold, 179cm! I remarked on it and the nurse told me that you lose height when you get fat because your butt gets so big that you cant get as flat against the wall to be measured!

It'd be the same with your pants. Especially as a man, you either have to be harry high pants and wear them high enough to go over your belly or wear them under the bulk of it, in which case, you'd need shorter pants.

      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?
