How many days were you on the pre-op diet? I was on mine for 1 days and I lost about 17 lbs. I was hoping to lose more, but I still thought it was a great jump start. I am 5 days out from surgery now and have only lost about 2 lbs from my surgery day weight. I did expect this though, because I know that with the trauma and the IV, typically they say you won't lose much the first week, but it will start coming off after that.

I've been on my pre-op diet for almost two weeks, and at last check I had only lost 6 lbs. I am surprised it hasn't been more (especially given how much I have to lose), but I'm not overly worried about it, since I expect it's going to take a long time to lose all the weight I need to (220+ lbs) so there's no rush.

It's almost been two weeks for me and I have only lost about 7.5 pounds. It really frustrating especially since they want me to lose 20-30 pounds before surgery :(

      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?
