I took some pictures today for my 5-month surgiversary. When I looked at them, I saw every, single pound that I still need to lose (about 40). It was very discouraging. :(

Then I looked at the pictures I took 6 weeks pre-op and I saw all the pounds I've already lost. :D

I'm so glad I took these early pictures. I'm sure I'll be happy in a few months I took the ones today.

You look great!! I actually have a professional photographer taking pics of me once a month. I've asked her not to touch up any of the pics, I want to see every lump and bump, and I've also asked her not to show them to me. I will first look at the pics when I am half way to my goal, and I will look at them again when I reach my goal, and then I will probably make them into a book. I also think taking regular pictures will be a great motivator! Congrats to you on all your success and continued success in the future!!

      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?
