80 lbs already lost and still losing



Recommended Posts

Being sleeved was the best thing I did for myself, my health and my family in that order. I started out in a size 16 and now am in a size 8. So hard to believe it's me I'm looking at in the mirror. Have had no complications and have not lost any hair. Thanks for the support from my family and forums like this. I haven't felt like this or had the energy since in my 30's and I'll be 60 this year.

It's always so nice to see people who have had their sleeve for awhile, since so many of us are new at this.

Way to go!

That's so true -- it gives us newbies incentive to know it can be accomplished.

      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.
