I finally made it to Onederland



Recommended Posts

I am now 199, I didn't even understand what onederland meant, lol. I started my journey at 274 pounds and could barely walk around the mall, now almost 8 months later I'm 199. I'm a slower loser but I'm proud of myself. I love eating healthy without feeling like I'm on a diet and I now look forward to my 2 mile walks everyday. I have another 52 pounds to go and I will get there. I am so glad I went through with the surgery, I was so scared and wanted to cancel. But I kept reading peoples posts on this board and stuck with it becauce of everyone here, so thank you all for helping me change my life. Janine

Congrats on Wonderland!

I am right on your heels with less then 2 pounds to loose, but I have been stuck in a major rut and can't get out of it flucating a pound or two every day.

Hopefully I will be joining you in Wonderville at least by next week.

      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?
