Nothing. Your weight is going to fluctuate while your body gets used to the changes. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF EVERY DAY! :smile1: I know its hard not to, but you need to give your body a chance to regulate to the changes. Every single person is different.

Get your Water in - your body will retain everything it can if you don't give it enough Water.< /p>

Before surgery my weight could fluctuate 5-6lbs in the same day. After surgery it fluctuates anywhere between 2-3 lbs. While I still weigh myself everyday, I only count when it has been 7 days and knock on wood it has always gone done. So don't count. You could retain Water, have your period coming, your sodium intake might have been high, while your water intake is down. Just wait until its been a week between the last weigh in.

      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?
