I'm just in awww. Looking at myself in the mirror knowing where I was a year ago, months ago. Im so excited I can't even show it as much as I would like to. No one understands your battle but you. However you guys can relate as we all are on the same journey here. I just want to scream odd times, burst out into tears of joy and stair at myself saying is this really real. Am I going to wake up and it be a dream. I know I may sound crazy but I'm so emotional right now. Understand, how I feel right now I haven't felt in so long and the best part is this is the beginning of an extraordinary new life for me. While nothing around me has changed much, but my mind has and that makes all the difference. To anyone that is newly postop hang in there on those tuff days and get ready to get excited and to anyone contemplating on what to do, just think of feeling so good you can't stand it. Trust me it's not the easiest no matter what folks say like you cheated blah blah they don't know what they are talking about. This takes work but it's so rewarding.......once again EXCITED!

I know exactly how you feel. I look at pictures from last summer and everything is different. I feel so much better. You hit the nail on the head, it is hard work. I am really proud of the work that I put in over the last 4 1/2 months. You have every right to feel excited. This is a really exciting time!!

      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.
