It doesn't seem like 4wks ago I had my surgery. No nausea, gas, pain, or anything I was told to expect. Eating with ease...still a challenge on getting all my Proteins down but I manage.Cravings went from a 10 to a 1. 27lbs lost so far. Absolutely the best decision I could have made. No regrets. Looking forward to months ahead. Very grateful for a smooth process.

I'm post op 4 weeks today also! This was a revision for me. Original RNY was in 2004. To date I've lost 17lbs. I still have mental cravings but I'm bound and determined to get this weight off and keep it off for a lifetime!!

Congratulations on your success!!

Was there any pain at the beginning?

Honestly, I wouldn't consider it pain just a little discomfort. I often had to remind myself and still do just how major my surgery was. Like I said considering a lot I've heard and read, Im truly blessed to have literally have "NO" complications.

Not sure yet, hopefully sooner than later. I have an appointment tomorrow with the surgeon to hopefully get everything going.

      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.
