Me!! I started at 228 at my first pre-op appointment. (siminar and scheduling appt) I weighed 205 the day of surgery and my doctor's goal was 150. I reached that just a few days shy of five months. My goal was 145, I got there a month later. I am back up to 150, as of today. Summer has been brutal with vacation, family reunion and company. I started getting back to basics yesterday. I should be able to lose this 5 lbs to get back down to MY goal without much suffering, in a couple of weeks.

I am almost 14 weeks post op, have lost about 41lbs, and about 52 to go, to get to my goal of 130. I'm feeling very stressed and overwhelmed, like this is taking forever! I have sloped a few times with foods, bit for the most part i do the "right" eating habits, and work out a minimum of three days a week for an hour. I sure hope i can make my goal!!!

I'm 19 months post-op, hit my health goal of a normal BMI at 160, hit my personal goal of lowest adult weight at 150, and achieved my dream goal of 140. I have maintained between 136 and 138 since January. I started at 232 and have lost 96 lbs.

      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.
