I had surgery Aug 13th...my birthday is Oct 6th so I considered it my "start over" year. I can tell you that its the best gift I could have given myself. My weight is coming off, my energy is soaring and life is good! i had no complications and have adjusted to eating just about what I want (with in the program limits, havent tested outside that....and wont...I was additcted to food and am well aware that I could "relapse" if not careful)

Wouldn't trade that "gift" for anything!

I wish you all the best, may you have an easy recovery and use your "gift" wisely!! You will LOVE how you feel on your next birthday!!

Thank you! I'm glad you are doing well since the surgery. I'm a little nervous as to having the bypass, but I know its what's best for me and I'm looking forward to the "New me"! Keep up the great work! I'm glad your loving life & it gives me lots of hope knowing I will be there someday. Wish I had a genie ball to see me next birthday! Lol :)

      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.
