Cut 6 minutes off of my walk time



Recommended Posts

While I know that isn't huge, it felt soooo good. I am not getting as winded uphill and I have not had to stop. I have been picking up my pace and it actually feels really good!!

I am getting excited because I feel like pretty soon I may be able to start with riding my bike again. There used to be a time where I either walked or rode my bike everyday and it really felt good.

Then my Rheumatoid Arthritis got really bad and I was not able to exercise and I ended up putting on the weight that I had lost with diet and exercise. I guess I lost about 125 lbs back then. I will say I did not put it all back on, but as much as I lost and gained, lost and gained, I probably put it all and then some back on.

At any rate, I never thought a walk could feel so good! Woot woot!

      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?
