5 months out today



Recommended Posts

I had to post on my sugerversary, I love my sleeve!!! I have lost 61 lbs in 5 months and before surgery couldn't lose any. The inches are still coming off as my body changes. I haven't lost much in the bust area so kinda happy about that :) The throat area is what bothers me the most (droopy) blah!

The Hair loss seems to continue -but has leveled off without getting worse. I'm happy and have decided the rest of the weight will come off when it wants too. I'm still walking though not 6 days a week more like 4 days and keeping my 4 yr old granddaughter 4 days a week, that in itself is a workout.lol

I'm in size 12 jeans from 18 women and lg tops from 2x. I do tend to eat the same things repeatedly but it is grilled salmon so it is healthy.

I do feel I have added years to my life and it makes me happy dance at least once a day!

I hope you all are doing great too!! You are the best!!

Congrats Carla,

I am also getting the droopy throat thing, but think I'll be happier thin than bigger with a puffy neck!

Keep up the great work and I?m sure we'll soon be seeing your target post, and a very happy dance then!

      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?
