Funny how these same people watch us suffer and fail at every diet, and don't call us cheaters, and then when we find a tool to use with a diet we are cheating, go figure

I love Kaylee's response about asking those who say it's cheating to tell why it's cheating. We still have to eat right and exercise just the same as those who supposedly "aren't cheating." It's actually more difficult for us now because we have more eating restrictions to adhere to than someone who hasn't had wls. So believe me when I say it's in no way cheating! I tell everyone that I had wls because I could care less what they say or think. But that's me and I know everyone is different. Please don't let anyone make you feel bad for having the surgery. I wish you all much success now and in the future!

I heard was told today by a lady I work with that she wasn't going to "cheat" and have WLS like so and so. This is why I have told no one at work! I was like yea this is cheating. How many times have you done 3 weeks of liquid diet! Do that then get back to me and tell me I'm cheating!

Don't let anyone discourage you. I work with someone who is very heavy but had lost 50 lbs on weight watchers and she gives me the same vibe. I hate to tell her that her lost weight will return but mine won't. That gives me the motivation to be successful for life.

      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?
