Still having back pain, I was able to see the specialist on Monday. She told me during surgery muscles in my back were sprained . Starting therapy on Friday. The next month should be interesting.

I am feeling kinda of down because I can't workout and I feel like I am not loosing weight . I have not been weighed since my last appointment on 12/19. I have my next appointment tomorrow morning.

Finding app has been the best thing for me. To know other people are In my shoes. Before this site I had reached out to a friend h who had the surgery last March and he wouldn't talk to me about the procedure. O well bless you all and I hope we all have success.

      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.
