Hello all! I'm 32 mother of one! Weight has always been my obstacle however I have always been able to control it with diet and excercise.

After having my son I am unable to lose the weight I put on --- I'm still 40 lbs heavy from before I got pregnant and 60 lbs away from my goal weight. I recently saw a specialist who said I was an ideal candidate for gastric bypass --- I weigh 195 and am 5'1" --- I have no health issues except the weight I carry -- looking dr someone in a similar body weight and height who has gone through this!!!

You are my twin :) I'm 5 foot & started at 211 I want you to look at my photo & see if you want to Be as small as me. My intentions wasn't to be tiny in fact I just didn't want to be a plus size woman. I think I'm at the right weight now should be 122(haven't weight last week) I want more meat on my face.

Mami, that's funny. My original intention was not to be as small as you, but I may turn out that way. I told my surgeon I would be happy at 150 and he's like "no no no no no" we can do better!

      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.
