Hi, my name is Kristina and I just had the sleeve done here in Boise ID by Dr. Korn 3 weeks ago. I am doing great! I am only 28 years old but I have severe back prolems and have been on many pain meds for awhile now. I am proud to say I am off all my meds and down 20lbs already! The worat part of it all is the head hunger and smelling the food I cook for my family and then having to drink protien shakes and pureed food :( BUT...I know this too shall pass and it will be well worth it for my future!

Okay so I sent you a reply message butfor some reason I am not able to find it now lol. But again hi April! Its nice to meet you on here ;) just curious what is the RNY? I have heard some people talking about it but ot sure what it is the doctors do? Thank you! It definitely has not been easy at all but will be well worth it. Good luck on the surgery! I wish you a speedy recovery and lots of success!!! Thats funny we are from california! We moved here about 5 years ago for my husband's parents but I sure do miss cali!! Its gets boring out here and so so cold! But its better for raising a family and alittle cheaper but not much from where we lived in stockton. But I miss my family there, its such a battle trying to figure out where to settle but I think its time to take a trip out there and see what its like again. ;)

      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.
