So I don't have any long sleeve shirts that really fit and I went to old navy today on my lunch break and I was able to fit in an xl!! Do you now how long I have been shopping in the plus sizes, I didn't even think anything at old navy would fit, figured if it didn't I could get my boys something. So 3 weeks out and new clothes already! My cousins that have had this surgery both told me the best part would be shopping!!!

Doesn't it feel great, my surgery is tomorrow morning but I had to lose liver fat before and lost 40lbs. Getting out of plus sizes was the greatest feeling. Kuddos to you!

while I think fitting into smaller sizes or non-plus sizes is a good motivator and benchmark, I am hoping that the more important things to me will be improvements in my health and how I feel...not to be a downer here, but I can recall a time when I had major weight loss and had gotten down to a size 12, I was young then (in my 20s), and my focus was on my size and how I looked in clothing...I still was not satisfied at a size 12, even though I look back now and realize that was a muscular body, and I was in great health and aerobic shape...I just wished I had focused more on that aspect; i.e., my health and how fit I was as opposed to my size...keep up the good work

      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?
