Welcome & congratulations on your surgery. Would like to share your weight lost? How you felt after surgery?

Since surgery I have lost 46 lbs. the first few days after surgery I was uncomfortable mainly from the incision because I had an open procedure. I went back to work after 2 weeks to the day. I've never had a problem to this day but I spent a year doing my research and followed my doctors orders to the T. It has been the best decision I've ever made.

      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.
