Halfway on Hump Dayyy!



Recommended Posts

So today i weighed in at 265 pounds which now measure my lost weight at 97 pounds and gives me 95 to go. I have officially past the halfway mark, the tipping point, over the hump! To those awaiting surgery, or struggling those few days or so after post op, take it from me, the feeling is....indescribable. Every day we rewrite the pages n the book of our lives and make them better for us and those who love us. To be honest when i first started along this journey I repeatedly said if I could just get below 300 pounds it would be a huge success for me and I would be happy. But when you follow your plan and things o right, the outcome is well just great, and heck im not afraid to say when i hit my 100 pound loss in a few days (3.2 pounds left to go) I will probably be a bit emotional about it as well.

So many people here have helped me get this far and I thank you all. and to those just starting out..You Can Do This!!

Next thing you know, we'll only be "overweight" instead of "obese"!

HUGE success Steve, and a warmly positive message, congrats! You're right, the story of our journey gets written anew every day. You sound so enthusiastic and happy, what was your mood prior to surgery? I was at my low point prior to surgery, joint pain, meds, sleep apnea, now they are all gone, I just had my 6 month labs and my A1c was lower without meds than a year ago on meds. So much to look forward to as we go from being spectators in life to active participants.

      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?
