A Reminder To Make You Smile :)



Recommended Posts

I saw this and it was very uplifting and a great reminder of what we are all here trying to do, we all have our up and downs, but we are here for the exact same purpose...to change our lives. So next time you get down on yourself because the scale hasnt moved in a couple of weeks, or even a couple of months, or you start to reach for Cookies or what ever your guilty pleasure may be, for me it is ice cream (for the the 3rd time this week)instead of reaching for fruit or string cheese (or your favorite healthy snack) think of this photo, and remember what you did this for. YOU! to be a better, healthier YOU! I am thankful that I found this forum. It has helped in so many ways. I don't feel like I am alone in the daily struggles we all face, even after WLS. So here is me, giving back because I am sure, like me, there is someone out there that needs to see this right at this exact moment. Lots of Love and Good luck to each and every one of you on this journey!

      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?
