I am going to visit family in another state this weekend. When I got sleeved in May, I set a goal of being in the 170's by the time I went on this trip. I made it!!!! I am SOOOO happy and excited! This will be my first time flying since surgery. I am looking forward to not spilling over into the seat next to me!

Wow Laura, you are rockin that sleeve! Enjoy your vacation - you've earned it!

We are really close in surgery dates and weights. My surgery was 5/17 and my surgery weight was 222. I'm currently 186.7. I hope to catch you in the 170s soon! One goal I've set for myself is to to lose 10% of my body weight in months 2-3 post-surgery. I lost 10% in the first month (From 222 to 200) and now I need to get to 180 by August 17 to reach my next goal. You've inspired me!

I am SO looking forward to everyone's reactions. I lost 17 before my surgery so I am actually down 57 since they have seen me. I feel so good. Thanks for the encouragement everyone. My heart is overflowing with goodness today!!

Living the dream,

Laura

      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?
