Hi there...I dont know if I can be a mentor I was recently sleeved(12/31) my track record so far is questionable...

Here is the good so far, I eat hardly anything but I am also still on a soft food diet. I get so excited about having an egg and cottage cheese and my best treat is sake (salmon sashimi) it is very soft and I had no problem chewing it.

The not so good, learning when I am full because my brain is still working as a person who can eat as much as I want( puking is so unfun at this point). Not drinking enough and taking a trip to doctors offfice to get iv therapy for dehydration

I dont regret this journey but everyday I learn something new about this change, I joined a gym today went and worked out and I wanted to work out later this evening it was strange, I opted for a walk.

Thats what I have I dont know if it helps or scares you but I have no regrets, this is about having a better quality of life and Im on my way.

Congrats on your decision

      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.
