Thank you so much' date=' I am ready for my new start.[/quote']

I have read a lot and apparently there is shrinkage of the fatty tissue so it definitely is beneficial. I am not liking the liquid diet I have cheated several times but made sure it is healthy Proteins And only small portions 1 time a day for satiety. It seems to be really helping and I'm loosing weight already getting into smaller sizes. Surgery is officially a week away on the 30th and I'm spiked but scared about the ability to find likable maintainable foods postop. I have such a varied pallet now that I'm nervous as to the changes that may occur later

My surgery went well on 4/23/13, I went home yesterday, still really sore and tired. I am walking and taking in Clear Liquids, not a lot but enough they said. My pouch likes Jello and Popsicles

The surgeon found a Hernia he had to surgically repair, and a lot of scar tissue they had to remove, he said it was really 3 surgeries he gad to do, so now I know why I'm sore. I haven't had any problems with nausea at all Thank Goodness.

Thank you honey, no regrets here. I'll take it a day at a time like my surgeon says. Good luck to you all, they really keep a close eye in you and only let you go if everything checks out ok.

      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.
