I'm sure there are a lot of people who have done the 5 day pouch test. Can anyone help me, pretty please!

The pouch test is mostly for bypass patients...sleeves don't have pouch's

I don't advocate you doing this at all...however I do tons of research and it was pretty simple to find.

Here's another one that you might consider

Again, I am not an advocate of these types of gimmicks, I feel that the best way to lose the weight is stick to a healthy and balanced diet, restrict processed carbs and exercise to the point of raising the resting heart rate, for at least 20-30 minutes a day. That works for me, maybe not for everyone. YMMV.

I've never heard of it for this surgery, so I would talk to your dr to find out exactly what you are supposed to be doing.

      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.
