Great job!!! I am 3 weeks and 3 days...can't wait to see 45lbs gone! I have gone to my MD, last week for blood work, check BP etc...I WAS type II diabetic, high blood pressure and high cholesterol...they are all normal! What a great feeling to not have to take 4 pills everyday for all this! I didn't expect them all to diminish sooo quick! Glad they did......keep up the good work and would love to see pics of you! keep in touch

      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.
