Everybody has their own journey. Mine was over a year and half of contemplation. One last ditch diet effort that cost me $3500, ideal Protein. It helped but again I gained it all back. So my operation was a success thanks to a top notch doctor and hospital. All the right meds. I won't deny the small sips of protein and Water the first week were not fun. Left use shoulder and stomach pain lingered for me as I have fibro. However, I have overcome that and now. I started walking and increasing my exercise each week. I am beginning to feel good both physically and mentally. My head still is yearning for those pretty cakes/cupcakes, ice cream and and Cookies but the desire in my stomach isn't their to consume. I did eat some gelato and it tasted so good I wouldn't deny. Because it tastes so good I are more than I should when a little would do for me. Uncomfortable and sick had to lay down. So remember the big lesson you can taste, don't overeat. I have lost 42 lbs. amazing life change. Good luck to all of you!

      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.
