can i confirm.. you had your surgery almost 3 years ago and have lost like 20lbs total?? I guess I'm confused by that.. Maybe your stats are wrong or your restriction is wrong.. Just asking how that works...

A lot of people go from lap to sleeve. My Dr won't even do lap anymore. So I'm glad you did that ..

U might still have some gas from surgery being 10 days ago.. That is very normal.. Walk a lot to get that gas out.. Thats the only way .

Travelling so far so soon after sleeve may be what's wrong? Hope things improve soon for you! Oh I wish I was near snow! I've never actually seen it before and I'm 30! I'm from Australia so it's mid summer here and super hot!

      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.
