What it will be like to be thin. I have been heavy my whole life. Or as far back as I can remember. I keep thinking how in the world will all this weight just dissapear. I see the before and after pics of other people who have lost weight. But I don't see that for myself. I try to imagine it. I certainly know that I will have skin left when all is said and done. How does every one else feel about this?

I'm post op and can't imagine it coming off either. I've lost 26 lbs but am waiting for the weight to stop coming off because me being thin just doesn't seem like it could happen in reality

I had my surgery 11/30/2011. I have lost 115 lbs so far. I haven't reach goal yet either. I agree with you about being thin and healthy. It wasn't until recently that I starting feeling a little bit less. I can only contribute that to my clothes literally fall off of me. I do still believe that mentally and emotionally we may still feel that way but with the support and help of others we can strive to feel this 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
