My surgery is Tuesday the 29th. I am getting excited and nervous, but the excitement of being healthy sure out ways the nerves. It's taken 25 years to get from 159 to 264. I am 5 foot 8 and everyone cannot believe I weigh this. Little by little it just sneaks up on you. My doctor told me not long ago, if I did not get this weight off I might not make it to 62. I am 57 now. I had to take a trip and got into my seat and the belt almost did not fit. I was so thankful I did not have to ask for an extension. With that it was enough is enough. My husband has always said he loves me no matter what but he knows how miserable I am. He says I look uncomfortable in my cloths. I will so excited to get rid of a lot of the medications. I have always enjoyed food and portions just seem to increase. I am taking back my life. Food will no longer control me.

Congratulations on taking control of your life. I'm only two weeks out, but I am convinced it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. Good luck and let us know how you're doing.

      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?
