Well today i hit 6 mths of being sleeved. Yes i had complications upto about 4 mths, still have reflux a couple of days out of the week and would love to just be able to eat a little more.... and at a normal pace as you all well know but i think that will come in time :) i have lost 88 lbs which i would never have been able to do by myself so for that i am thankful. I do have 1 question, i find myself still feeling tired, anyone else 6 mths out??? Each day it does get better, sometimes the regret of what did does come back but life goes on and we must just enjoy it :)

Congrats on your progress! I sure hope you get to feeling you can change your member name someday ;) With complications, your body has really been hit hard. May take a little longer to recoup. Are you eating/snacking/drinking enough? I found early on that I had a lot more energy if I added some carbs to my Protein smoothies and snack list. I ate more carby Proteins like Beans, blended bananas or peaches or berries and skim milk with my Protein Drink, and added oatmeal to my Greek yogurt, etc. Also make sure you are taking your Vitamins, including a separate D3 and sublingual (or injectable) B12. Does your doc do 6 month bloodwork to check Iron and Vitamin levels? These things could definitely make you tired if low.

      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?
