Hi my name is Tricia,

I am what is called a Newbie I guess I am scheduled for surgery in Mexico on Jan 31 2012. I just want to get with a group to talk with about what my life will be like after that day.

I am not sure how this site works, so I will add my email pgesswein@gmail.com

Thanks

Almost a year out and for the first time with losing weight I honestly feel like this IS the last time for me. I can no longer eat the huge meal in 10 minutes or less like I used to. The one thing that was hard, actually just trying to get used to, was planning when to eat because it takes me so much longer than before. I used to love to have Breakfast with tea in the morning. Now I drink my tea first at home and then usually eat on my 30 min drive in the car to work and finish what is left at my desk. I also do not take a lunch at work, I eat at my computer which really does help me take my time eating.

Everybody is different, what works for one may not work for another. It's all trial and error til you figure out what is best for you!

      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?
