I had a nine month wait to have surgery because of all the steps that had to be taken and just the whole process took that long. I eat what sounds good to me and when I have that feeling of fullness I stop. I make sure I stay very active doing something. Like I said I just took up bike riding, I walk when the weather is nice. I watch my calorie intake try to stay at a 1000 or just under, per day. I will tell you and every one it is not easy, but just keep telling your self I can and will do this.

      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.
