My story made the news!



Recommended Posts

Your story made me cry because I am just like you. I have been working out religiously for the last 3-4 years.. 5-6 days per week, seeing a personal trainer 2-3 days per week and not shedding a pound. At first I gained weight too when eating 1400-1600 calories (which is what someone at my weight should be eating to lose) . Then my nut told me to go down to 1200, didn't gain but didn't lose either. I felt like I was just going to the gym so I wouldn't gain which was inspiration enough for me. 1000 calories made me lose but i felt like ****. I sprained my ankle this year and couldn't work out for 2 weeks and gained 10lbs! That was, for me, the straw that broke the camels back. Sorry for my long story because this is about you. You are such an inspiration...keep us updated.

Awesome story and way to go.

I was the same way. I was always out playing football or doing something with friends but would never lose. I could lose some weight but it would come right back with friends. I lost 100lbs in 6 months 5 years ago then 8 months later gained it all back plus 20lbs. I made the decision to have the sleeve to get healthy and look the way I felt. I am 5 months out and down 122lbs. started at 360 and I am at 138.

Way to go Tinaatl!!! Now I am of to see my trainer :)

      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?
