Hey ya'll, new to the site. I was sleeved February 12th, 2013. Best decision of my life. Have had an easy recovery and weight loss has been steady until this past month. I'm within 10-11 pounds of my goal. (Depends on the day) I keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Greetings and welcome. Your success is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself. I am about a month behind you as to when I had surgery and found weight loss has slowed down so much. One thing that helped me was I read about the c25k app. There is a whole thread on it in the Fitness and Exercise forum. It is a free app that trains you from a couch potato running a 5k in 8 weeks. I recently finished the app and couldn't believe I was able to do it. I had never run before in my life. I think this change in exercise shook up my body to loose again. The other suggestion is that there is a thread called the Valentines day challenge. There is a new challenge every 6 weeks or so and a wonderful woman who started the thread keeps a spreadsheet on everyones weekly weight loss. This reporting in and accountability caused me to tighten my diet. Third thought was to watch the carbs. I know for me when my carb number creeps up the weight loss stops. I track this on myfitness pal. Hope some of these help.

Thank you for the welcome. I will have to check out the Valentines Day Challenge. I completed C25K in September and found out I don't enjoy running, lol. I just finished my 2nd week of Focus T25 and I'm hoping that will help jump start my loss.

      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?
