Recommended Posts

Hi I had my surgery July 19,2013 and it went very well. My starting weight was 187 after pre op 176 first dr appt after surgery 164. Not sure what my weight is now until my next dr appt Aug 23,2013. I am very happy of how many sizes I've dropped in this little amount of time:)

I lost most of my weight in the first 4months( I lost 100lbs, my surgery date was 1/29/13) Now I'm losing a pound or two a week, I've lost another 18lbs in the last month & a half. I hate that it's coming off so slow now, but at least I'm not gaining. I have a very hard time with exercise because I have RA that has destroyed my knees & they need to be replaced. Keep up the good work & you'll be at your goal before you know it! Peace, Mary

I have R.A. as well. Although the dr said visually my r.a. has not started being active. No swelling etc. My blood work shows continually I have it! As well fibromyalgia. My right knee clicks when I extend it but no swelling. I have 30lbs to lose for my goal weight. I had my surgery a few wks ago:) Are you on any R.A. meds that you find work well. And do you think getting on meds to prevent issues help?

      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?
