I'm interested to hear how many pounds most ppl lose in the first couple of weeks. I've lost 25 lbs since dec.5. Not complaining, just wondering. Also, I would LOVE to hear about some positive experiences in the beginning and/or some helpful tips. It seems like there is SO much negativity! Happy New Year!

Your weight loss is great, right now you need to be concentrating on

healing. You've got another couple weeks before doing any heavy

exercising. You should be averaging about 11/2-2 lbs a week. the band

is a slow, steady way of weight loss. In a year or two we'll lose just about

as much as other forms of WLS. There are people here that have lost

200lbs with the band, it just depends on our dedication and will power.

You seem to have both.

      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?
