Hello! Just ask away! Mine is July also and I've been researching thru YouTube and this site. U will find successful people on YouTube and not so successful too. U almost can see where they messed up and where they are doing good. I feel like sagging skin can be much less if u really workout alot during the first 6 months when u lose the most that is something I've learned. Stick to the excersising but the time where u lose the most is do important.

When do you say to work out with weight? I know I can't for 4 weeks according to surgeon but like you I don't wanna sag.

      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?
