So every goal I set, I meat and beat it.

We are doing the fertilization where one baby is mine and one baby is his. It's a lot of money to spend and we've been advised that we could end up with up to 8 to 10 going this route, but realistically 2 to 4.

I'm excited.

The Surgery is nothing compared to what you go through trying to have babies,

The weight loss was the first step. I wish I had done it ten years ago.

When they get here, I'm retiring for 20 years. LOL. (I doubt this but wishful thinking).

At least with having the surgery, I know I'm going to be around for quite a while.

Yay - keep us posted! That is so exciting! I'm a triplet so I am a little biased toward multiples!!! :-D I seriously don't know how my mother did it, raising us and working full time, so I love your 'retiring' remark. Made me giggle.

I hate my laptop. I swear I've spilled on this thing so much and it makes so many errors lol.

I forgot to make the most important point. If it weren't for this forum, I would never have discovered surgery in Mexico. The procedure we are doing we are also having done in Mexico as its sooooooooooooooo much cheaper. We were quoted $200k just to start here in the US. Around $35,000 in Mexico.

Everything I've been quoted in the US I've been willing to do and spend the money on but then finding good reputable places in Mexico isn't hard.

My grandson is due in five weeks and I'm so excited to be a healthy grandma for this one. My granddaughter is 10 and for half her life, I was so terribly limited with what I could do with her. I did the best I could and in the end, spending time with her was the most important thing but I have to say that I can't wait till I can take this little guy to the park and climb the monkey bars and go on the swing and slide and teeter-totter with him.

      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?
