You're doing it....going, going, gone....where are you? (LOL!) Keep up the fabulastic great work! Every day I question, "should I have, or shouldn't I have", until I put on my regular Ladies size Large bathing suite (from a 22-24 last summer!) and I'm like, "Thank you God, for my surgery!" A new you and me, and countless others! It is NOT easy (in fact I have to chuckle when I read newbies at 2 months saying, "I know how you feel about eating that extra bite".....really, at 2 months, you still have no idea...I hate to say it, but it's true. It's when you are smaller, livin' life, then you just plain forget...not chew enough, eat too fast...then dun, dun, dunnnnn......the pain! Oh yeah, I forgot I had surgery! That's when it's tough, you look "normal" but still aren't. Good luck!

Congrats! Such an inspiration! I passed my one year surgiverssary last month. I'm down 78 lbs. Not as much as you, but in my defense, I had shoulder surgery at the end of March and sat around for 2.5 of those months. I'm now back to work and back to eating better, so hopefully I'll hit the 100 lb loss soon. This site keeps me going! Happy belated birthday!

      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?
