After lurking around this place I thought it was proper to start an acount thus here I am. I am 10 days post opt and feeling okay for the most part. Emotionally drained and still a bit of pain at the top of my stomach but other than that doing well. I had my surgery in Sydney Australia..which is where I live..by a lovely French Doctor whose main practice is in QLD. Since my two week preopt diet I have lost about 16 kgs (35lbs) to date. :faint:

I will let you knwo of my progress as I go along.

Cheers

Jess

the pain is starting to go away..which I am so happy about ...but the liquid phase well not so good..I usually have two protien shakes, about 1/2 cup of Soup, juice, and then maybe a glass of Water throughout the day...I am told that Im ment to be having three protien shakes, 5 glasses of water and then that is it...grrr...so I know that may be why Im not loosing more. Im at 120kgs

which makes me down 5 kgs (12lbs) since surgery. But I would like to be down 9kgs (20lbs) when I get to my 2 week follow up..so we shall see how it goes.:phanvan

      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.
