6 month follow up today, and questions I should ask?



Recommended Posts

I go for my 6 month follow-up and nutritionist appointment this afternoon. Other than asking about how to stop the weight loss, and about a maintenance plan, is there anything else I should be asking? A couple other things I was considering: asking his opinion on the medical alert bracelets I've seen debated on here at length, and the Restaurant Card that some people's doctors give them enabling them to order off the children's menu or smaller portions at certain restaurants. Any other ideas?

Ask him about straws. And caffeine.

(Since you're already asking about other hotly debated items :) )

Thanks, MIJourney! I'm 4 lbs below my doctor's goal weight of 190. I have people everyday telling me I need to stop losing weight or it will be too much. I don't exactly agree, I'd like to get down to 180, but am happy where I am. I just am not sure how to stop losing at this point. It is still coming off, very slowly, but still coming off.

Just viewed your profile pic ~ wow! What a transformation! You know, I still am shocked at how much younger people look after they've lost weight. I guess I never thought about weight aging people but when I see before & after pics, it's almost like seeing a Mother/daughter or Father/son (in your case) pic! You look awesome! Congratulations!

Yes GamerGirl, I do now! It was only one person's opinion, and everyone else's contradicts hers, so it's all good now!

      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.
