Weight Going Down, But Not Pants Size Not So Much



Recommended Posts

Is their another choice beside pear and apple? I do know that I have significant floppy belly above my C-section scar that causes me to be a larger size than I otherwise would be. Even if left with it, I am too much of a chicken to get plastics. I saw info on tummy tucks are they are BARBARIC! People that said they had a high pain threshold like me were reduced to blubbering. Statements like "you won't be able to stand up straight for awhile put the fear of God into me.

Yeah, I'm an apple shape and definitely have more of a belly now than when the weight came off. It's my nemesis....

There are so amny varying shapes and not just for girls...but in general they (clothing) try ti use pear, apple, square, retangle and triangle, from

what I notice...I don't think these are enough to lump a person into how they are going to lose weight. I think it has a lot to do with height and also where it comes off of. I also think (when I say think I generally mean educated guess cause I have no direct reference) that pounds lost in ketosis vs. A higher carb diet might affect the appearance also...it is really interesting, however, to see just how different we each are and then to know how generalized our care has been...hmmmmm

      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?
