I had exactly the same problem. I very intentionally never set a weight goal. My focus was on following the protocol as closely to the letter as I possibly could. I made a decision from the very beginning that my body would know when it was at the weight that it needed to be at. And that's exactly what happened. I followed the protocol and when my weight loss stabilized, that was the number. Your family and friends have the very best of intentions. You gotta love 'em. But your body and your doctor will give you healthy, objective feedback. You're gonna love the new you!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
