Ok guys you asked for it...

It looks awful on pictures and in real life. I always thought that after my surgery and weight loss I'll feel more confident at the pool, beach, Water park etc. Meanwhile with this bulge I feel much worse now. I'm embarrassed to go with a bathing suit in public. That's why I'm opting for another procedure.

Mine bulges but not that much. Yes I hope they can fix it for you because we deserve to feel GREAT about our weight loss and no longer feel anything but pride in ourselves. That said, it's not "gross" at all. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh ok it looks like the port might have just flipped or turned ,so HOPEFULLY it won't be to bad & you can begin your journey again & move further along ,the one I was talking about was oozing out stuff & they had to pack it & it still looked infected & the belly button was inverted deep down, so HOPEFULLY it goes good , good luck keep us updated & informed.

If not for the hair everywhere I think I remember seeing that same shot on my first girlfriend :P :rolleyes:

      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.
