Got on the scale this morning, and I was shocked to see that I'm one pound away from ONEDERLAND!

I started at 247 the day before my surgery on February 7th. I'm so excited!

Please tell me the surgery date on your info is wrong...did it really take over a year to get where you are at? I mean, I would be thrilled with losing 40-something pounds in a year normally but with the help of vsg I would hope it's faster. I hope I didn't offend you, just really hoping you mi-typed the year.

Congrats!! How exciting!! Thank you for sharing! BTW..My nutritionist told me it's not a race. Everyone loses weight at a different rate for all sorts of reasons, rather it be body type or medical issues. I think you have done super! I was estatic to hit the 200's and am looking forward to the day I hit Onederland!! :)

No, my surgery was a month and two weeks ago. As in, February 7th...

Ah, makes sense! You accidentally put Feb 2013 instead of 2014 in the info that shows up on the side. :) You are doing great!!

      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?
