I started at 230, with a lot of comorbidity due to over weight.

I'm starting at 230!! I really hate that number!! My nutritionist said a goal of 150 is good for me, but my personal goal is 125. I will be happy at 150 though. Shoot, I'll be happy to be below 200 at this point!!

Congratulations on your success. You will lose that 19 pounds!! Good luck dear!!

thanks, my personal goal is to be 135, but the doc goal is 140, and now that I'm at 157, at 5 months out, I don't want to lose much more than 140. Keep us posted on your progress.

Great job! How do you stop losing when you reach goal? Do you have to intentionally increase calories? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question it's just a concern I have pre-op.

No question is to dumb to ask, yes, I will increase my calorie intake and build muscles.

      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?
