I'm from Philly originally. Now I live in South Jersey. My surgery was done @ Barix in Langhorne, PA on May 5th, 2005. Congratulations. I'm having a consult with the reconstructive plastic surgery in a couple of weeks. So glad that you fought & won. Prayers for a fantastic outcome for you.

I lost 90 lbs. It was well worth it. I have type II Diabetes, and my average sugars post meals are 110. The only food I couldn't eat for about 5 years or so was rice. One forkful totally filled me up. Now I can eat about a 1/4-1/3 cup, but no more. My consult is May 7th.

I have type 2 as well and I just be nervous cause my sugar is high at times and I don't want them to say they won't do my surgery because of that did your diabetes effect your surgery in any type of way

      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.
