Went to my primary care doctor today bc he wanted to see me after surgery. I was so excited he has decided I can start decreasing my bp meds for two weeks then quit tAking them :) I'm so happy that was one of my goals post op was to get off meds. I'm almost 9weeks out and have lost 42lbs post op and 15lbs pre op. Have been motoring bp for bout 3 weeks and its gotten lots better very low at times even.

      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.
