Who has done the 5 day pouch test and can you tell me if it helped or if it kick started your weight loss again while in a stall? Thinking of trying it but not sure. Thanks! Susie

Hi!

I have done the pouch test twice.... It does help to get you back on track, eliminate carbs cravings and it helped me re-focus ... it is easy to get off track, getting back on track is the hard part!

Good Luck!!!

Thanks, it's not that I'm off track, I was just trying to lose again, I've lost 30 pounds after two months of being sleeved and at a stall for the past two weeks. Did it help with a stall for u?

      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.
