I am three weeks out and 30lbs down. I expect a stall at any point in time now. How long will a stall last for? What do I do when it does happen?

Hi Megan,

Congrats I'm six weeks out and 32 from surgery day. 49 in all. Sounds like you are doing an excellent job. Don't fret over a stall. Just follow your doctors instructions. When you can eat regular food and are healed well it will keep falling off! Just burn off more than you take in. I have some medical issues with two types of arthritis. I have a disc problem in my back and have been going to PT. I have also been held off from weight lifting too and I can't walk because of my knees my rheumatologist forbid me to walk unless in pool. So I ride my recumbent bike an hour a day. I'm still loosing steady and really have not had a stall. Just steady. I don't weigh everyday. Just at the doctors offices. You can get too hung up on that and sabotage your mental picture on your weight loss plan. Just focus on following your plan and you will stay successful. Good luck!

      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?
