Like several others who posted, I had some regrets in the first few weeks. Mostly because I was so sore and because by week two I was hungry on the liquid diet. Once I started on soft solids the regrets started to fade. I will say that in the first two weeks on liquids, if I was hungry I had some broth. It helped a lot.

I had only been heavy for about 3-4 years when I had surgery. I went through a breakup right after I graduated high school is 2004, and I slowly (and sometimes not slowly) gained weight. I knew what type of things ran in my family health wise so I wanted to get a jump on this early, and take care of it while I was young. I have lost over 80 pounds in 11 months, and I would do it again in a minute. I like maybe 20 or so pounds at being to goal, and I think it has been pretty easy so far. No major problems or anything. Getting stuck stinks, but I can still eat just about anything I want (excluding bread) just less of it. I've lost my weight without really exercising and eating too healthy. I just cannot eat much. I like my band most of the time.

      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?
