Thank you how do you feel so far?

Good! The first week was rough, I was reaaaaaally sore on my port side, I had a hernia repair, so that could have attributed to it too.

I'm feeling much better this week, been in the gym the last 5 days. Haven't lost any in the last week, but I think my body is trying to figure out what's going on.

How's your experience been so far?

Love your glasses Pjones!

I was banded in 2011 and just had a baby a year ago so I'm trying to get back into it! I don't have a scale at my house anymore so I'm only checking my weight when I see my doctor :)

Well I had a partial unfill so I had no real restriction until a couple months ago. Having a baby also made me not really care so much as about my well-being for a long time.

I understand. We all have set backs on this process. Just get back to the Protein and working and you'll be fine

      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.
