This is my first post, and I just wanted to thank you all. All of your posts helped me through every step, two years ago I was a very unhappy seventeen year old, in a horrible relationship that I was scared to leave because I thought no one else would want someone like me, I weighed 110 kilos (242 pounds) and had incredibly low self esteem, but now, thanks to all of your support and my lap band i've lost 52 kilos (114 pounds) and now weigh 58kg (127 pounds), and I have found that its not that people don't look at me anymore, they just don't curl their lip in disgust when they do. I'm now in a happy relationship with a wonderful man and I have my health :) there are so many things for me to look forward to.

LOVE this. The best thing you could have done for yourself besides get your health back is to be in a healthy relationship. I've been in a bad one before and it just doesn't compare to the one I'm in now, I'm sure you feel the same way :)

      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?
