Hey hey good to hear from you, glad your doing great . Congrats on your 10 kg lost your doing awesome .

I'm 17 kg down and have hit another stall for the last 2 weeks , drives me nuts. I'm eating more now but have been spewing quite a bit with meats . So I have resorted back to soft foods again and Soups . Still not getting enough Protein in tho but my Fluid intake is awesome.

      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.
