On the tool bar at the top go to Forms gastric sleeve and about half was down you'll see a title Veterans. Just like you posted in tell your gastric sleeve surgery story there is a one for people a year or more out. Hope that helps :)

Are you getting enough fluids? Water, etc...? When I get dehydrated, even a day's worth, I stall. My other issue is carbs sneaking in. Did you find the veterans forums? :}

For me I really had to get back to the basics of what I ate when I lost my majority of weight. Sticking to Protein and little non-starchy veggies. I also drink my requirement for Water and also coffee and tea. I have recently stuck to a low fat diet and find that I really am enjoying it(no mayo, butter, very little oil). It is hard but I keep in mind my goal to remain a healthy size 6 and never wanting to go back to where I was.

      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?
