Recommended Posts

I had my surgery December 20. My preop appointment i was 322lbs. I am now 288lbs. My cloths are already way too big. I haven't had my postop appointment yet due to my Dr is on vacation. How are you doing?

I was December 20th also. I am feeling much better. Had terrible pain in and around my largest incision. I have lost 27 pounds since I came home from hospital, but most of that is Water from all the IV. Was hungry yesterday for he first time. Usually I have to make myself have a drink

Or shake, but a couple times yesterday I was hungry. I actually had a cheese stick. It was so good!!! No problems!!!

Wow Andrew! Sounds likes you're doing great!

I was also sleeved on 12/20. I moved to mushie food over the weekend. I think I took it a little too fast and today I've gone back to mostly liquids, yogurt and mashed potatoes.

I find it hard to take all my meds during the day. I've been cutting them in half, and now it seems like double the amount (lol, it is)! I'm nervous about taking a WHOLE pill!

I'm seeing my doctor this Thursday for the first time. His office and my husband's work schedule were hard to coordinate for an appointment any sooner.

So far - so good.

Googie, what type of shakes? I haven't been given any instructions for Protein shakes - don't even know what products are available....curious to know.

Be well!

      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.
