Hello

I'm Spicey from New Jersey sleeved June 25 2012 in Livingston, Nj Dr. Paragi. I went in Monday morning, after 8 months of pre-op appts. and clearances only losing a few lbs, but after no surgery complications I went

home Tuesday evening once Dr. Paragi cleared me with.instructions. 6 1/2 months later 79 lbs down I guess its good 3 clothes sizes down but not.getting enough support, energy, excersize, and I feel tired all the time!... I hear so many different things from people but it has still has been a good experience, lifelong changes I'm still adjusting to. I had a few issues going.into surgery with my asthma, bronchitis, hypothyriodism, and extreme obesity and they are better but no dramatic changes. I was blessed to not have any other health issues at this time.

Thank you for responding , advice, encouragement and assurance!!!! It is greatly appreciated. I feel alone and my family coworkers doctors expect miracles and I have to keep my head held high at all times to maintain my composure. I am happy with my results but I'll try to workout harder and longer also take my vitamins.....thanks again

      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.
