A great year tfar! My greatest fears before surgery was that I was going to be giving up so much, I thought I would lose my love of food, I thought I would have to deprive myself at parties and family get togethers, I thought I might become someone different. I had surgery in August and since then things have gotten nothing but better, I'm off all meds but one, I kicked the CPAP to the curb, I feel great, I'm not in constant pain, and I enjoy foods almost as much as before. I've been obese most of my adult life and I didn't know what being "normal" felt like, clothes fit so much better, I can walk and climb, I can bend over and tie my shoes- woo hoo! Doesn't sound like a major milestone to a normal person, but to someone who hasn't seen their toes in quite a few years, it's something to cheer about.

So, thanks for asking and to everyone who has been on this journey and to those who are ready to begin, here's to a new healthy and active life, best wishes for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

      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.
