Hi everyone my name is Tricia. I'm 34 and have 2 children. I started my weight loss journey in June at 244lbs. I am at 230 now. The hardest part for me was quitting smoking. But my surgery is this monday!

Congrats! I'm currently waiting for my insurance to authorize my surgery. The office won't schedule until approval which has been difficult for me to deal with. I commend you for quitting smoking. You have your eye on the prize! I hope that you have a smooth surgery and good recovery. New year...brand new you!

Take Care :)

Congrats to you!!!! Quitting smoking was made up the day of my seminar. I didn't want anything to interfere with my surgery. My procedure was done Dec 3 and so far so good. Good luck to you on Monday.

I'm not sure what I weigh now...Weighed in at my surgeon's office at 212 on Halloween, and won't weigh in again til my next visit later this month. Was so worried about stalls, I figured I'd just save myself the stress, do what I need to do, then be pleasantly surprised (I hope) at my next visit.

So I'm all done. Surgery was yesterday morning and went great. No issues. My heart rate has been going up a bit. I had some broth tonight. And off the iv. I had an oral tylenol, and couldn't keep the Water down. The pills luckily stayed in. I've been walking to/from the bathroom on my own. And around the wing a few times. No real pain, just discomfort.

      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?
