Does anyone work 3rd shift with sleeve?



Recommended Posts

My doctor says slow progress maybe due to my meals being in the night as thats when I work. Was wondering how any one else's eating schedule is that may work this shift.

I work 4 to 12 on the ambulance, so not as drastic but still different from the so called "normal". I don't see why it would make any difference at all, people who work shift are on a different schedule but as long as it is consistent your body should adjust to it, the body doesn't have a built in clock it only knows what time it is by what your activity level is.

The best way to measure your loss is in percentage lost til you hit goal.

Measuring in lbs and comparing to others seems to make people feel they are slow losers.

      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?
