Here are my midway pics.

The ones in my purple shirt are from last August before I started my program.

Gastric sleeve was 12/23/2013

The pics in my brown top and black pants are from my halfway point at minus 49 pounds / 51 to go,

Taken on 2/23/2014, exactly two months post op.

Belly is still resisting, although 3" smaller, but you can tell that my face, arms, and chest and thighs are smaller

And I am starting to get ribs and a waist.

The wedding picture shows you how thin I was in 1970 (108 pounds on my wedding day).

Look at those too thin bony arms! My goal weight is 135.post-182976-0-25861100-1393181461_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-34453700-1393181477_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-88068700-1393181502_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-77664800-1393181518_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-63122300-1393181550_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-71011300-1393181570_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-59413900-1393181589_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-69164900-1393181615_thumb.jpg

I carry a lot of my weight in my middle. Sadly, the core is the last place to lose. Still and all, you can tell you have lost quite a bit! Your mid-section will shrink too you are only a few months post op. Nice job... keep up the good work. You are going to be ready for summer soon.

Miss Mac, you are looking terrific. you can certainly see your weight loss in your face and arms and you are much smaller in the middle. Like the previous poster said, losing in the core area takes so much longer. Women were made to hold their weight in that area to aid in child bearing so you can't fight nature. Keep on doing what you are doing and you will soon notice even larger changes. Thanks for sharing.

      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?
