How Is This Even Possible?!?



Recommended Posts

I've been struggling with my weight for longer then I can remember. It seems like as soon as I made the decision to have surgery the weight is just melting off. 28lbs in two weeks!?! Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, I know if I wasn't having the surgery it would come right back but geez. I haven't even really changed my diet much, and am totally going through "last meal syndrome." the next couple months is definitely going to be a roller coaster.

I feel you on that, bit every pound you've been losing, I've been gaining. I've totally succumbed to the "last meal syndrome"!

Maybe you are less stressed knowing you are going to have the surgery?

It's definately a good thing to lose weight....gets your liver in better shape for surgery. Most centers want you to lose weight before surgery anyway so you're a head of the game. :)

That is too funny... I am exactly the same way.... I've been eating anything I want for the past month. Then they bumped my surgery another week!! SO... Ive gained about 10 pounds. I feel like I am eating my "Last Supper" I start my liquid diet on Wednesday!

      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.
