Recommended Posts

what happens after you reach goal? Do you get an unfill? How do you maintain?

Though I am a loooong way off from goal, I was wondering that too. Looking forward to seeing the responses.

Your weight loss tends to taper off so you don't really need to do anything. Some people have some fill taken out so that they can eat a little more but for lots of people that isn't necessary.

I just added one more snack per day, and that seemed to stop the loss. But add a bit more than that, and it goes back up slowly, like I am dealing with now. :thumbup:

I just gradually stopped losing and have maintained ever since. No real change in habits, maybe I do eat a few more treats these days and dont worry about stuff like having a glass of wine. But no unfill and I probably do more exercise than ever.

I got to my goal size and decided to quit losing but I was having a hard time eating enough and lost another 2 pounds so I had .2 cc removed and now I eat more. I weigh every day and I am between 132-135. If I am closer to 132, I eat more, if I am closer to 135, I eat less but I exercise the same.

Disclaimer: I have only been at goal for about a month so this is just what I think will work..:thumbup:

      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?
