Recommended Posts

I was sleeved March 18, 2013. This has been an amazing journey so far. I had my first encounter with an old coworker since my surgery, and she literally didn't know who I was standing right in front of her. I get comments like, "Well, you're just withering away aren't you...". It's been sooooo nice. I never imagined this could be my life. I remember telling my Mom I was so nervous about getting surgery, because I was scared I was going to die. I had wanted to be "skinny" my entire life, and knowing this surgery was going to eventually help me achieve this... It seemed to good to be true. Well... I didn't die! I'm not by any means skinny... But I sure am on the right track to being healthy! Here's my before and after!

I don't know what to say. Everybody took all the good words :). You look great. Would luv to gear about your surgery, etc, especially your diet and exercise over those 4 months. I'm getting sleeved Thursday and I'm praying for the same results :)

These pics inspire me. I'm 11 days post op and have lost only 4 lbs in those 11 days. I know it will get better when I'm able to put in the time at the gym. Not gonna get down about it-I know it will come off. Congrats in your awesome loss!

      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?
