I feel them. For the first time, in....idk, EVER. But I'm conflicted. I'm not sure if I like them all. The jaw bone, collar bone, wrist and ankles are much appreciated. But this pelvis I've never felt seems absolutely obnoxious. Along with these hip bones...that seem to get sharper as the weeks go by....I'm grateful that walking seems so graceful and effortless...but I am definitely afraid that these bones are now unprotected and extremely vulnerable. And....Sometimes I miss my fat, and my stomach, and various Fativities like eating in bed, buffets, and food comas. Idk. All of this is just so strange! Lol. I guess I'll adjust.

Sleeved: 6/14/13

Starting weight: 273

Current weight: 226

I feel much the same!! The bones are awesome!!! But there are definitely times I wish I could eat that whole steak, baked potato and maybe a dessert!! Then I think of the new size 18 pants that are already getting a little loose and savor the 4-5 bites of steak and 1/8 of potato :))

      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.
