I agree; it does seem like there's a disproportionate amount of women. Not sure why that is (maybe they carry their weight differently or place more value on their looks?) I was trying to talk my obese husband into considering these surgical options, but in spite of being miserable because of his weight, he won't bite. Oh well.

Best of luck to you getting a male cohort; perhaps one of the search filters or the mods could steer you in the direction of a male sleever?

Hey Bruce, that's O K, we'll talk to you. I also recommend the guys' forum.

Plenty of guys on here...the ladies just talk more! :lol:

Guys' forum is probably the place to go if you have gender specific questions. However, if you're just curious about WLS in general, fire away! ;)

I'm a guy. Right at 4 weeks post-op. My only regret is that I didn't do this fifteen years ago. What kind of questions do you have?

How do you guys cope with the loss of food as a "medication"? Do you find the restriction reduces that desire to cope by eating?

      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.
