Update, I went to see my surgeon and he wants me in on Monday overnight to pop a camera down into my stomach to see what's happening as he suspects the stoma has decreased in size (a stenosis). When this happens, smaller and smaller amounts of regular food can pass through the stomach :-( causing me all these problems. Hope they don't have to open me up again:-(((

Well, I'm felling much better than I was, still incredibly tired, and agitated but my eating is back to normal but still have no hunger at all and If left to my brain to rule my body rather than my common sense, I wouldn't eat At all, I don't enjoy food at All now. I have always been jealous of people that eat to live rather than live to eat... I got what I wished for, I just need to learn to live with it now. This journey has been tough and I'm sure it will continue to be so, but even with all the things that have happened, I'm still glad I've done it! X

      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.
