Hello sleever's

Amazingly I met a sleever at one of my stops as I was making a delivery . The clerk introduced us as she is aware of our surgery . As I was talking to the fella , he got his surgery 3 months before I did and had lost a total of 170 lbs . This is great ! But as I watched him purchase his lunch he bought a liter of diet coke , king size snicker bar , regular size payday and some ruffles . As I was thinking to myself , wow this guy is going back to his old habits and headed for failure . After he left , the clerk informed me that was his everyday purchase and shakes the soda till its flat before drinking it . I think that's sad , especially when my company delivers fresh deli sandwiches , fruits , vegetables and salads on a daily basis in plastic cups or containers . Anyways , why would someone go thru the procedure and time to lose the weight to just go back to his old ways and start gaining his weight back ? I felt bad for the guy and wanted give him some advise but he looked like he was in a rush . He still looked to be around or near 300 lbs . I guess experiencing what I saw that night just gave me more strength and has made me continue on the right path as I have been for the last year . I hope you sleever's take this surgery seriously and commit to it for the rest of your life . Remember ( it is only a tool)

      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?
