Hi everyone, I am 2 1/2 years post op and I've gained 35 lbs. I'm getting married in June and instead of losing weight I keep gaining. Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone know how what stage should do start on so I can shrink my stomach again? Any info would be appreciated.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about "stages" -- instead I would revert to being sure you are maintaining sleeve-friendly eating habits. These are the rules for "getting back on track" as per my practice:

3 small meals per day. No Snacks other than Protein Shakes.< /p>

Your meals should consist of lean Protein, green vegetables, and Greek yogurt.

Aim for under 1000 calories per day. Minimum of 75 grams of protein and max 60 grams of carbs.

Track everything on myfitnesspal or a similar logging site.

Good luck!

      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?
