Hello from North Dakota! I am 2 weeks post op and feeling great. I didnt know what to expect as i kind of kept it a secret that I was doing it except with my family and close friends. I deal with Fibromyagia and have tried so many diets that have just failed so it was nice to see in the 2 weeks that I am down 14lbs already. Im excited to talk to others and reading forums in here have helped me already. Like learning about the gas pains after and yes Gas X is a life saver!!! I look forward to talking to others in the journey and couraging those that need it... Have a wonderful and blessed day!

WELCOME

happy to have you join the group. I have learned so much by reading posts from this forum. I try to stay away from the negative nelly's. I listen to my doc and nutrition experts. I don't do "it" perfectly everyday but, the changes have been so phenomenal, I feel different, I look different. I think for the 1st time I will make it this time.

I have worked really hard on some demons that always pulled me back into the world of hatred - self hatred. I am worth all this work, I am worthwhile. I have things to contribute to the world. Believe it yourself, you will have success too!

Ask lots of questions, it will make such a difference!

Thanks everyone for the posts! N I have no clue but fatnfluffy popped in my head... Gabriel Inglasis(spelled wrong lol) is one of my fav comedians and his famous saying is Im not fat im fluffy. I have always had a positve attitude of my weight. But when my fibro got bad i knew it was time to change. My dr said that those who join these groups and go back for routine checks are the ones that succeed the most and i have learned lots by reading and then just finally joined so i look forward to chatting and reading and learning lots!

      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?
