Hi Rach! Welcome! I don't have any pics yet, but I'm two weeks post op today. The last time I weighed was at my two-week pre-op appt (so four weeks ago) and since then I have lost 31lb.

My hospital stay was two days and I was able to start walking about 8 hours after surgery. I was in a lot of gas pain when I woke up and my belly seemed to be pulling on my incisions. I told the nurse ad she got me an abdominal binder which helped A LOT! I'm still wearing it now, actually.

I'm still sore, tough to bend, sit down and stand up but otherwise doing well. I started puréed foods today and the few things I've tried have all gone down just fine. Heading back to work tomorrow!

If you have any questions along the way, feel free to MSG me. Good luck!

      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.
