I am in fla for my daughters college graduation my mother who is not happy the surgery and told me there was nothing wrong I have lost about 25lbs it has been a month. I did not tell her till after I did it all she could say was I should not have done it and how beautiful I always look. this is coming from a 76 year old woman who plays tennis every day works out at curves and diets all the time. she is in good shape I have about 50 moren pounds to go. everyone else said how good I like she said she cannot notice any change it did not bother me just amused me. that is why I stayed with my daughter not my mother on a positive my two ex husbands were they were much friendlier then they have been all in all it was a great day. my ex husband has got to weigh about 400lbs I did tell him about the surgery he said he was not interested didn't push the issue

I told my Mom I had my lapband taken out. I didn't tell her about the sleeve part. I think it would have really freaked her out and it'd affect her health. She has some health conditions and worries to much. She hasn't noticed my weightloss but she noticed my hair thining. When she notices my weightloss. I know it will be really noticeable.

      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.
