My surgery is scheduled for 3/2 and I have to lose 15 pounds. I downloaded the app MyFitnessPal and have been using it regularly. It's really helped! I am down 10 pounds in 7 weeks! Good luck and congrats on your approval! :-)

Thank you. I downloaded it before Christmas, I was doing really good then a few things happened to derail me. I'm trying to get back into the groove of things. Exercise is my major problem. I just can't get going with it. I've got to get it done because I don't want my surgery pushed back. Good luck to you also. My fitness pal ID is harleyamb if you want to add me. Sounds like your doing great!

My bet is you can and will loose the weight. I had to loose 30 lbs. instead of thinking about 30 lbs, I concentrated on loosing 3 lbs a week. I cut out all carbs and sugars. Started drinking 2 Protein Shakes a day and one regular meal. Did cheat a couple of days and had carbs and sweets, but would only set me back a day. I went to see my nutritionalist every 2 weeks to weigh and hold me accountable. Good luck to both of you. I don't regret one bit the surgery.

      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?
