I got my surgery date today of March 8th so I am exactly a month away.

I started low carb today just to make it easier after the surgery.

My surgeon is Dr McDaniels in Victoria, Texas.

I want to lose 100 pounds.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

Katldy - Yes that would be great to have a buddy.

I went to a local support group last night. The only thing is that everyone was a RNY patient and most of them were a year or more out. They had lost lots of weight but they all complained of hunger. I hope that is better with the sleeve.

      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.
