Some people don't think before they put their mouth in gear.

I remember asking a woman I knew when her baby was due. She said he was born last week. Insert foot here!

People can be really ignorant about the different types of WLS- don't let their uneducated responses take you down.

I have also asked someone I worked with and had not seen in a good year when her baby was due... Needless to say, she was not pregnant and I felt like a real a-s-s-h-o-l-e. She wasn't fat or anything, just had a bigger belly (she had already had three children).

I was once asked if I was preggers and i was not it hurts pretty bad I remember I went home and cried. But it taught me to think before I say so I don t make someones else sad.

Man I hope no one says something like that to me. The day after surgery my mom thought it would be cool to introduce my grandma to the face time app on her iPod. So of course they call me and i am passed out on meds and not feeling good. My grandma promptly gets on to me for being asleep at ten in the morning and says that I'm not going to lose weight laying around. She has always been on my ass but that was pretty extreme.

      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?
