Oh I still have 5 more Nut visits, Ijust started.........So won't be till April of next year I'm sure. But that is fine, gives me plenty of time to mentally prepare for this. food is my friend and its going to be tough road but well worth it. And I also think once you start to slim down it just gets better and better not to want those bad foods. I am a Carbo, I love them carbs. I have also been paying close attention to when I eat them now. I get supper tired.

So all in all, I can't wait!! :)

Hi Dooter, :) well I really liked the vibe I got from Dr. Acosta/ Dr. Lara, so I'm going to El Paso.

May I ask what made you chose Dr. Kim ( I know he's fabulous and all but..) ?

The "national average" leak rate is 1%. Dr. Kim's is .01%. I wanted the best stats I could find. I thought 1% was too high.

      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.
