No Longer Obese! 6 Months Out!



Recommended Posts

Kind of silly to Celebrate being "overweight" using the BMI scale- but today I moved from being obese to overweight!!!

I'm going to ask a friend to take some pictures of me next week. VERY few people know I had surgery and I'm still self-concsious of having photos taken, so will ask a friend who knows I had the surgery.

And, 2# away from 100# weight loss

      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?
