Has anyone created a YouTube video to document their journey? If so what made you decide to document. I am thinking about it but I'm not really open with everyone.

I have a youtube channel, and plan on doing so. The reason I decided to do so was because I haven't been open about it and only a handful of people know. I do believe that a good support system will help me as I am single. So youtube and VST provide me with the opportunity to talk it out (free therapy yay), have accountability, develop a support system of sorts, and inform others that have or are considering doing the same.

I did decide I should make a video diary for myself but it took me awhile to decide to create a channel of my WLS journey. I've really enjoyed watching others but didn't find many from those of us who are older. I just posted my third video today. I don't get a lot of views or subscribers, but that's fine, this is more for me.

Good for you Peggy. You are in a demographic of your own which is awesome. My aunt is considering the surgery and I'm going to have her subscribe and follow you. Thank 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
