I wish you the best of luck! With all due respect though' date=' if you can lose 30 pounds per month another way, why not do that? I know you say you want now and want it fast but that's one step off instant gratification and again, with all due respect, isn't that what got all of us in trouble in the first place?

Patience is something that must be learned during this journey. There will be weeks when you lose no weight at all. Your body needs time to catch up. If you have realistic expectations you will not be let down.

Just trying to keep it real.[/quote']

Here was the earlier post... I once could do it, can't now I've tried!!

I was always around 136 lbs and gained 60 lbs while pregnant and lost about 35 lbs within a month after the birth of my first child, I was 19 when he was born but turned 20 then next month. I lost another 25-30 lbs and went in with my life... Then I had baby number 2 3 years later... Gained about 90 lbs with him!!! That was a lot!! Then after he was born lost it in no time but when he was 8 months old I went through a divorce and gained again.. About 60 lbs. so I was still under 200 lbs and wearing size 10 to 12 comfortably so I was fine with where I was at but then I remarried, turned out to bd mean, he cheated, divorced... Then it started I gained 150+ and its been downhill from there. I am remarried and we have a 4 year old, very happy as far as family life goes but I am sad on the inside bc I am not happy with myself!! So here I am... 340 lbs and size 24-28 pants and 5xl shirts (a snug size 48 G bra) I am going to add something and its only bc my BFF is a beautiful black lady and she likes to tease me cause she says I'm a white girl with black woman's boobies (bc of the size of course) Lol sorry but wanted to add a bit of humor at my own expense!

      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.
