Surgery with Dr Kelly 8/22/2012



Recommended Posts

Starting weight 268, surgery weight 250 started size tight 24. Current weight 182. 5'4". NSV...size 14 not women's store. First real purchase! (Not from second hand store or hand me down)

Total weight gone today...85 pounds. I did not lose it, I let it go and I don't want it back ever again. 32 pounds away from my first goal of 150!

Great Job!!! I actually remember when you had your surgery, I remember your posts as you were headed to Mexico. My surgery was 6/4/2012 so just about 2 months before yours.

Yes, I was a little disgruntled with the not so stellar customer service everyone else had spoken of, but my health has been fine. I never pulled the BIG numbers...but I also haven't really had a stall either. I no longer have a thyroid so that could be a factor in no HUGE loss numbers, but for once in years I feel alive again!

      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?
