One month update, surgery on 1-25



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to give a one month update. I had surgery on 1-25

with Dr. Aceves in MX. I lost about 8 pounds prior to surgery and

as of Monday 2-22 I have lost a total of 47 pounds and 19.25 inches.

I'm sure loosing that much weight that fast has to do with me being

a guy and having a starting weight of 362 pounds. But I'm still proud

to see it coming off.

I'm getting back into clothes that have been tucked away in my closet

for sometime.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for the information you have shared

and continue to share. When I was invited to site in December I was

considering Lapband and quickly changed my mind.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Gary

Congrats Gary! The numbers are all relative : ) the fact that they are going down is awesome! I figure it could take me six months to lose 50 pounds but so long as the number keeps getting smaller, I will be happy with my decision.

Have to say tho, 47 pounds??? WOW!! You must feel amazing!

      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?
