Scary how wondedul recovery feels



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on November 13. The first few days were rough, very... Who am I kidding. The first week was prob the most difficult challenge. I am still surrounded daily by food. I am a mother and a wife full time so I have to continue to cook daily for my family. I always knew I could do it. I'm not at all bothered being around food. My eye is on the prize and he prize is much bigger than a plate of food that would probably only satisfy me for a short while. Anywho I don't want to ramble on I just want to say that some days are better than others, but most days I feel fantastic. So well in fact I forget I even had a major surgery. My surgeon instructed no serious workouts until 6 weeks so my progress will pick up when I can sweat like a pig, for now in just 4 weeks I am happily down 50 lbs. God is so good an my sleeve is wonderous!

      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?
