I just wanted to start a post to acknowledge how great my best friends have been throughout this process... Although one of them is a size 0 and two others are size 4 (they were all blessed with great genes and great bodies), they've all been so incredibly supportive to me. Even as their (self-proclaimed) "fat-friend," they've never once judged me or made me feel bad about my weight or body. From day one, they've helped me weigh my options regarding surgery, and have been cheering me on every day since... Although they live all over the country, their calls texts emails of support, and to check in on me to see how I am feeling, have meant so much. In the spirit of thanksgiving, I am so incredibly grateful for them :)

P.S. I can't wait until we can shop in the same stores again!

Love that you posted this! I too have been so lucky with the support from my friends and family from day one. It always breaks my heart when I read posts on here from people that don't have the support we do. Definitely has me counting my blessings :)

      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?
