No regrets from me. I love my sleeve! I am so happy with it. I enjoy eating less and losing weight. I have lost 58 lbs so far. I am looking good and feeling great. I have went from 2x scrubs to large. Tight 22 jeans to loose 16. Ready for mediums and 14 s. Soon. I love everything about my sleeve. I had no. Complications and a very smooth easy recovery. Took a week and a half off work. I have been very lucky. I am very happy.

No regrets 2 months out. I was so scared beforehand that I almost cancelled my surgery. I could not imagine how I would change after surgery since I had never been successful at staying on a diet prior to surgery. I was obsessed with good/bad foods before and now I feel very detached from food...take it or leave it kind of thing. I eat now because I really need the nutrients, not because I want to be entertained. Like the others, I only wish I had not wasted so much time beforehand. I did have a bad reaction to the pain meds after surgery and had to stay an extra night in the hospital. And I've had one bout of "the foamies." So far that's been my only negative experiences.

      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?
