One if the issues I've had in the past with weight Loss is when I start to diet I don't eat enough calories So my metabolism gets low and I go into starvation mode and don't lose. Why doesn't this happen with the sleeve?

The sleeve actually resets you metabolism. When you limit the calories, your body will begin yo burn excess weight as energy.

I would say due to the issue of metabolism reset is a non issue with what I have experienced. I think at times we hit a stall due to the body hitting that plateau, but it doesn't last long and you change up your diet a bit or exercise a bit more and you will start losing again. The surgery helps, but you still have to do some work to acheive the loss you want. I am only 3 months along and have lost about 40 lbs...so I am not an expert, but can tell you I have not had to worry about my metabolism. The weight loss and speed of loss is pretty amazing and beats anything I have tried before hands down. Wish I had done it sooner.....

      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.
