I've been wearing the same two pairs of xxl stretch pants for like 8 months now and I finally decided to suck it up and go jean shopping. I ended up having a damn breakdown in the dressing room because I've managed to go from size 20 to size 24 in less than a year! Agghh!!! I feel awful. I knew I had put on 20 lbs, but didn't realize I had also added so many inches. I know, It's common sense, but I just didn't want to face the fact that everyone else could tell too :( All of my pre-op requirements will be done August 8th, so I'm praying for insurance to approve me quickly so I can get a date in September.

I've worn jeans once since I had surgery. It was about six weeks after and they were about six inches too big. Before I was about to move into a bigger size. It was an amazing feeling. I don't intend to go jean shopping until the fall though when I can't wear sundresses anymore. Congrats and good luck on your surgery!! You'll be in a smaller size before you know it.

      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?
