I'm starting to get those comments from family and friends....... "Surely, you don't want to lose any more weight....... You don't want to get too thin."

Are you kidding me?????? I still weigh 194 pounds and I still have an OBESE BMI. Of course I want to lose more weight, and don't worry...... I'll never be too thin!!!!!!!!

Remember...they are saying this based on how you used to look. If you do a before/after, it might seem like you are plenty thin and don't need to lose any more. I'm getting the same comments but you can also see by my ticker that I'm still technically overweight. I'm just eating the way I've been eating since I started this thing and the weight will stop when my body has nothing more to give up. My surgeon says I'm eating healthy so I'll just keep on keeping on. Have a great day in The Big Easy my friend.

Being fabulous has its perks, now does' nt it ? I agree with go walking, they're comparing you to your before and dont realize that you have'nt reached a healthy weight yet. Just tell them you and your Dr. have decided on a certain bmi, you'll Celebrate with them when you get there. Congrats on your weight loss so far ! Great job !

I've been getting the same comments lately. I still have about 40 pounds to go. I'm still "obese" for another 7 pounds. I laugh and then squeeze my tummy and say here's another 40 pounds, but thanks!

Some folks do not realize that they are not really helping with those comments. Along the same lines as How much you gonna lose, Aren't you at goal yet, or my personal favorite Are you losing weight because your sick.

Take care

      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?
