Hi, Jayson!

I'm losing a little hair, but it was really thick to begin with, so I don't mind too much :-). I love my new low/typical blood pressure, low cholesterol, low blood sugar, etc. I need to update my weight ticker - I'm at 157 with 29% body fat which I'm pleased with, too.

Hope you're doing great as well and that we hear from some other November 11 people:) !

I'm close - 11/14/13...

I'm doing OK - I'm down 44 since surgery, 62 total.

I'm losing a lot of hair - A LOT; I hope it stops soon.

I haven't found anything that bothers my stomach - that's a double edged sword

I feel great - lots of energy

I am feeling less and less like a weight loss surgery patient

How are you doing????

Guess what I have to see a urologist cause of pain when I pee. They suspect there might be scar tissue from the sleeve surgery blocking.

I started my annual physical today and the subject came up of the pain. They ruled out my prostate which was mad uncomfortable if anybody had that done before knows what I mean. I don't have to test my blood sugar anymore. However I have a problem with my blood pressure during body movement. The medical doctor wants to consult with my sleeve surgeon. They suspect that they might have to add another meal daily. So that would mean 4 meals a day up from 3. I hope I don't need surgery again with this peeing problem.

I was sleeved on 11/13/13. Doing well down 59 lbs since surgery. Wanting to break into the 100's. I've been hovering between 200.2 and 201.8 all week. Doing fine but just found out I have a minor stricture that will be fixed endoscopically on Friday. I can only eat 1-2 ounces and get a little nauseous after I eat so doctor wanted it checked. I don't throw up but just feel kind of blah for about 1/2 hour after eating. Doc says opening the stricture will make a world of difference. I still supplement with two shakes a day to get enough Protein. hair is fine, no issues, taking 6000 mcg Biotin daily along with all other Vitamins. Best decision I've made for myself, want to lose another 30-40 lbs but can actually see it happening this year.

      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?
