Your husband probably has a higher BMI? I notice those with more to lose, usually lose more weight faster. I'm sure you will do fine. I have my surgery next Monday.

OK NORMAL is DIFFERENT for Everyone. 25lbs in 6-7 weeks sounds like your doing just fine.. your only 200lbs. it would be different if you were 400 like i used to be. dont worry it will come off.

You look awesome and it's so noticeable that you are slimming down! Take a picture and put it side by side. You will see it! I can't wait until I have my surgery and we can experience this together. Think long term. I think one year from now we will be strutting our stuff at work in cute little clothes!

      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?
