Recommended Posts

Hi guys and gals! I'm not big into before and after pics. I'm only posting this to help the newbies who may have been at my height and starting weight. It would of been helpful to me in the beginning. I am seven months out. I am only posting a side pic, because I don't want the front of of my big fat face showing on the interwebz. Hehe. My pants in the after shot are getting a bit baggy now...but anyhow, here it is. I still have about 18 lbs to goal.

You look great! I hope I can do as well as you have...any secrets? I am 5'1" at 213lbs. I am not due to have my sleeve surgery until January but I am trying to get all the advice I can especially when it comes to exercising. I have little or no motivation to get up an exercise.

Well, I don't exercises anymore. LOL. My weight loss has been a little slow but I'm ok with that. I'm not as strict with my diet as I was in the beginning. Around 5 months out I could start eating a lot more. Honestly, I eat what I want...but it is much better than 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?
