I started the Vitamins pre op. Wanted it to be a habit before it needed to be. I also bought frozen weight watcher meals and ate them. Sort of like Nutri System but buying it locally. I used them for two meals a day, and I lost 26 pounds in about two months. I would always cut it up into small pieces and eat as slow as I could, tried for twenty minutes, and always felt satisfied. Good luck to you. Plus I walked everyday.

      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.
