Hello everyone! My name is Morgan, I currently weigh 339lbs and started my weight loss journey back in January of this year. To be honest its been a lifetime journey....

I've always been the chubby friend in the group...the fat friend with the bubbly personality trying to cover up her lack of self worth. I lost 60 pounds back in 2008 and was below 300lbs. I, by some miracle, became pregnant. Unfortunately it was short lived and my first thing to turn to was food. I gained back the 60, plus another 30 since then.

Instead of focusing on my health all I wanted was to get pregnant. I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2004 and thought that all I would have to do would be to go to a fertility specialist and they would fix it all.

After appointments, tests, poking and prodding I ended up gaining 10 pounds between appointments and it hit me then. I couldn't bring a life into this world living the way I was.

I had a coworker have the sleeve surgery last year around the holidays and decided that 2014 was going to be my year. I started this year, January 6th with my first information session at 375. So far after relearning how to eat and focusing on my caloric intake I'm down 36 pounds. I quit smoking a month ago, haven't drank any carbonated beverages in almost 2 months. I've also started going to zumba classes with my mom.. and I love it!!

I finally see the light at the end of this very long dark tunnel. 4 months and 4 days can't come fast enough!!!!

      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?
