Well, I'm 2.5 years post-op (surg. date 10-22-10) and I'm 41, so I thought (my face) would be really bad but so far it's not bad at all. However my husband is 2 years post-op and said if he were ever to have plastics, it would be to remove the loose skin on his neck. I personally don't think it's too bad but it bothers him. Probably not enough for him to have it removed (but maybe someday? He's 43 BTW)

I say if you are young and it bothers you that much, can you look into plastic surgery? Or maybe something simple like botox would do the trick for you. I don't know how far post-op your are, but give yourself time, things may improve. :)

      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?
