S I got dressed in my size 14 skinny jeans this morning I thanked God. One year ago today I got my sleeve. I went from 310 lbs down to 175. Size 24-26 to a14-12. My big thrill has been being off all my type II meds since Jan. I had my come to Jesus monument and did not want to die over something I had some control over. I work overnight and I am a single mother of 3 boys one with sever autism. I can't die now! I am also a RN some I have no excuse to say "I don't know?" I feel so much better. Thank you guys here your support. Without you all I may not have been able to make it. For those who have not done it, do if you think this tool will help. It is a tool and you need to change your relationship with food. It's my friend now but not my love!

Way to go! I hope I have as good of results as you do, I'm still waiting for a date and starting with numbers close to you. I have a 13 year old boy with high functioning autism so I'm in awe of everything you have on you're plate. You're sons are lucky to have you. Keep up the good work!

      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.
