I hope this is how it goes for me! I have all my smaller pants ready - I could probably wait for 100 pounds off before I actually "need" to buy clothes. :)

It's funny, I saved all my size 38 pants and XL shirts and sweaters ... for years they sat in plastic storage bins. My wife wanted to get rid of them, but I would always deny her saying, "No! I will get back into those! DON'T TOUCH THEM!" It was one of the motivating factors for getting the surgery. After about the 3rd time where she wanted to get rid of them, I was able to realize I needed help and turned to VSG.

Funny thing, after saving these clothes for years, I was only able to wear them for about 3 weeks! Oh, well. Goodwill was my best friend until I stabilized.

I wanted to let everyone know that Savers / Value Village gives you 20% off when you donate your clothes. You get a tax receipt too! They are clean, neat, and shop panel thrift stores. You can even find new stuff in there. I only know because I've worked for them for 5 year. Lol. I'm a DM. We help support 4 non- profit charities in my community. We pay them based on weight. The more you bring the more we pay. Best part is the money stays in YOUR local community!!!

      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?
