Today I got up and was getting ready to see the nuro doctor and walked by my mirror and was happy to see the person in that mirror eventhough I have a funny mirror. I was proud!!! I also notice that I have lessen the Hair growth on my face. I am not seeing much hair lost on my head but in my private part it falls out in clumps. Sorry for the TMI. since I have had the weight lost I was able to wipe myself and really get clean. When I sneeze I don't pee a little any more. The last little change is I was able to put on this griddle that I use to use to lift my belly so that it would not hang. It makes me look prego just a bit but it helps my back from having so much pain. Oh my feet are not swollen any more.

The little changes is what I live for. Any one else see the little changes?

I can't wait to see changes. The wiping one is something I am really looking forward to. It irritates me that the things I need to do for myself I can't do as well as I used to.

Oh yes!! The non-swelling of the calves, ankles and feet is SOOO nice! Being able to tie my shoes without being out of breath or having my face turn red is on of my favs!

I have to say, it's been a little difficult adjusting to the lack of padding on my behind! Seriously, I've been bike riding for years (20-35 miles) and usually after my 3rd or 4th ride I've toughened up, but NOT YET. And today, I sit all day in a meeting (literally 8:30-3) and my butt is killing me. NO I do not want the padding back, but I'm noticing its absence!! LOL

      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.
