Good question

Maybe some one can chime in but skinny sex is a term we coined here. For me, At my heaviest I couldn't get in certain positions like on top etc. Now my libido is higher and I'm less tired with 60lbs loss. Hope some one else will answer your question too with their opinion.

3. I'm learning how to have a healthy relationship with food (it's not controlling my life anymore)

4. I have more energy to play with my kids

5. I love clothes shopping again!

1. Wife won't leave me alone now!

2. Rarely watch tv anymore. I always want to go outside and do something.

3. Getting comments literally daily about how great I look now.

4. Saving money because I'm biking to work now instead of driving. It's 20 miles round trip and at 12 mpg, it's saving me $6 each day.

5. I fit into movie theater and airline seats and restaurant booths now without having to shoehorn my fat into them. It's fantastic!

      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.
