I'm 5 weeks out and went to have my blood work done today. I'm down 21 pounds and I feel good. I'm excited. I haven't been walking and exercising, but I'm going to start. I'm so excited and motivated. My starting BMI was 38 and I'm having great results. I love my sleeve.

Walking is fantastic! And if you're bored, you can walk with a friend. The time/distance just slips by and before you know it, you've gone a couple of miles (and burned a bunch of calories!).

And if it's really hot, you can always "mall walk". Just leave the purse/wallet in the car, or the walk becomes a shopping trip. With no exercise except opening the wallet and giving the credit card a workout!

:P

Congrats, I'm 5 weeks out and it's been a bit rough, but today I was able to drink out a water bottle and it not hurt me. For some reason I take in too much air and today I passed a huge hurdle. It's hard to go out in public carrying a one ounce med-cup and I thought I was going to be on those things forever.

      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?
