Hi Mini Me

Just wanted to jump in and say I could have written this post!! I think I was in the same boat as you are. I lost weight, dropped sizes in my clothes but I felt like I still looked the same! I really did not see a difference until I hit the 50lb mark!! I have actually read about other people posting the same thing. All at once I felt much lighter, I dropped more sizes in my clothes and I could truly see a difference!! So give it just a little longer it will happen, and then you will say YES this is why I did this!

Good luck!!

Hi Mini, I have been where you are now. It's hard to deal with how bad it was I think. I cringe when I see the old photos. Please hang on in there, it will all be OK in the next year. Loads o love Jane

Hey There Mini!

I can soo relate with what you are saying. Everytime I looked at myself in the mirror I would think to myself "the scale says I've lost weight, Why can't I see it?" Then last weekend I went dress shopping and found this really awesome black dress and I was AMAZED when I looked inthe mirror. I could finally see it. I used to wear a 24... this dress was a 16!!!! So I think it is like John said, what you wear might make a difference. You are doing great 30 lbs in 2 months is fantastic. Keep up the great work!

      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?
