Post Op - Three months out Update



Recommended Posts

So, I have posted small bits of my journey here, this place was a huge help in the pre op phase.

So a quick overview: I started my journey to Lapband Sept 2013, weighing 269 at 5'4"

By date of Surgery Jan, 30th 2014 I was already doing good, I started dietary changes early and followed the pre op diet religiously. I weighed 236, and the weight was falling off quick.

I am now three months, almost four? Months out, I weigh 193lbs.

I listen to what my body tells me, I've gone from a 4xl to a L-XL. A size 20 pants to size 12, and those are loose on me.

I'm at 4ccs, and so far so good. I still maintain personal choices of a very strict diet, more strict than the average post op dietary rules for personal choice.

I work out five days a week, I even picked up more active hobbies. It's been working for me.

As presumed the weightloss has slown down but I just push myself harder. No regrets. It's been great.

      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?
