I just found this chat blog deelie and thought I should make friends with those who are doing what I'm doing lol.

I was born with premature kidneys and in April of '13 found out that they were at 10%. Tried to loose weight so I could get on the list and get off of daialys, but was a lot harder than I thought as I'm tired ALL the time. I'm only 36 years old and am a mom to two boys 16-12. Already did my 6 months with the dietition and have my date set for Jan 28. Its nice to meet all of you! :)

Thanks! The only thing getting wls is helping is for me to loose weight to be ale to get on the transplant list. Sooner I loose weight, the sooner I get a kidney :) and then can get back to my life lol

      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.
