Thanks so much for sharing your story. Stories like this are so inspirational!

I have passed the halfway point but still have around 65 lbs to go.

Everyday is such a treat!

Today my hubby and I were in the mall going to the Apple Store, we walked past a Lucky brand jeans store. ( I have shopping at Lanr Bryant for many years - size 24/26). Anyway, I have always wanted a pair of Lucky brand jeans but the largest size you can get at their stores is a 14. They can order a 16 but that is the biggest.

Today my husband said, honey your jeans are sagging why don't you go in and try a pair. I know I could fit into a 16 but of course they did not have them, so the young lady said why don't you try the 14's to see if you like the cut. I was so shocked to try on the 14 and they fit!

I have not been in a size like that since I was in my 20s!

Well today I went home with two pairs that I bought from Lucky, not lane Bryant!

Woot woot! By the way, I love to shop now.

      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?
