Sleeved on March 11. 243 at surgery and now 176. 5' tall - went from size 22 pants to 14/16 and in an XL top. I had no complications other than soreness for a couple of days. The downside- none. I am now finding I can eat more and bread goes down pretty easily so I am cutting it now before it gets out of hand. I am 67 and would do it again. Many say their only regret is that they didn't do it sooner- for me this was the right time so I have no regrets at all.

have yall started shopping yet?

I tried going to thrift stores but found it tedious- the one near me sorts by color not size so it takes a while to find things. I am now shopping for fall/winter. I can get into 14's but I don't want to buy too much- I am hoping to go down a couple more sizes. I am hoping it doesn't get cold soon- I don't want to buy a coat until I am at goal. It is fun though! I still start in the Woman's section and laugh at myself as I move to Misses. Juniors? Probably not but I would be ecstatic if I could fit into Petites. I am 5' tall, but not sure my body is going to get that small.

      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.
