I have stuggled over the past year or so with regain, I initially lost 107 pounds, have regained about half of that. Wow, never thought that would happen. I had success with a very low carb diet. I am finally going back to that. I tried just counting calories and eating "good carbs" but didn't stick to it. I think the "good carbs" caused cravings. I started the ultra low carb (also fairly low fat and prettty low cal) diet today. It has gone pretty well, but am struggling tonight. I want something sweet! I know if I can hang in there for a few days the cravings will diminish. I am doing pretty well with excersise, which I will of course continue. I have some very nice clothes I want to fit into again! Wish me luck and thanks for reading.

      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?
