Congratulations!!! I was sleeved on 7/15 and so far I have only lost 12lbs. I started with 220lbs and now I am down to 208. :-). I had to stay an extra day at the hospital because a Lapband was removed as well. Too me it wasn't painful, the bad part was the gases and of course the hospital bed. :-( and reading all of this post has helped me so much. It keeps motivating me when I see pictures and people mentioning how much weight they have lost. I am praying that this will work for me. I have polio and having so much weight on my legs it's killing me. And once again CONGRATULATIONS to everyone and also thank u for sharing your experience.

I also found out my dr made another incision to hold my liver out of the way. I was very thankful for that because when my dad had the gastric bypass his surgeon nicked his liver.

Mine had to do this as well. My liver was very enlarged and fatty. I was sleeved on 7/1. Congrats to you!

      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.
