I just had a rant and I want to counter it with some positivity. I know a lot of ppl were sleeved fairly recently and I've seen a lot of new "stalls" threads pop up. I'm avoiding my scale so I'd like to focus on some NSV's to help boost morale.

Previously tight clothes are now comfy.

Some pants that didn't fit now fit snugly.

Bittersweet: bras fitting better around, but alas, looser in the cup.

Saw my dad on Easter and then a week later and he was impressed with the "obvious" weight loss in a week.

Hubby says clothes fitting me different and he loves "the girls" even tho they're shrinking.

I was sleeved yesterday. Sore. Tender. Happy! I lost 19lbs preop! Overall my experience here has been great.

I am enjoying the pre-op pants that were a little snug are loose! I'm avoiding the scale and trying to keep weighing in to once a week.

Since I'm less than two weeks post-op, my most recent thrill was being able to comfortably sleep on my tummy again. :)

I'm with wlq. We took a trip to Arizona for spring break and for the first time in years I didn't need to get a seat belt extender for the plane. I made sure to point it out to my family!

The pants that I took for travel to Mx preop were previously snug. Now they are loose.

Idk if this is a NSV or a reason for shame/embarrassment but I've since discovered spots on my legs that have not seen a razor in some time...

Yes! Great thread!!!! I'm only a week out, and things are still fitting very snug around my tummy from gas/swelling, but my shirts & dresses are huge on me! Looking forward to wearing clothes I've not been able to for years!

      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.
