AJ, I haven't had surgery yet, but have been researching this issue. On the countless diets I've survived in the past, plateaus have been a discouraging experience. The information I've gathered from around the Net is that the best form of exercise to deal with this is high intensity interval training. I intend to use this type of exercise when I regain my health post surgery and will share my experience with it. I have read that this can really break down a plateau. Research high intensity interval training and please let us know what you think. Hope it helps!

      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?
