So, for the past few months I have been reading the posts of many sleevers here. Tonight I have decided to start tracking and reporting the changes in my life. I really have a pet peeve about calling this "my weight loss journey" because I fell like a journey is something you do without a goal in mind...I have a goal in mind and I am on more of a mission!! A mission to become active, happy and most of all healthy. Hoping I can meet some folks here that will help keep me on target to complete my mission.

Lol I don't like it called a journey either for some reason. And I refused to say "I'm getting sleeved" lol makes me feel weird

I totally agree with you on the word "sleeved". I know it's common business practice these days to "verb" nouns. For example, my boss said to me this morning, "You've been tasked with this project and I need you to action it immediately. You've been goaled at 78%.". It drives me crazy for some reason.

So the word "sleeved" makes me bristle as well for this reason.

      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?
