Hey everyone! My name is Tim, I'm 31 years old. I am 1 week post op from my sleeve, and I had it done in Mexico. A scary proposition, but there were 3 other guys from my work who had used the same doctor successfully.

I weighed in at 265 pounds, which I know feels like the smaller side for a sleeve, but with a previous back surgery and very bad genetics, I was already noticing serious problems.

I have lost 12 pounds, but have been pretty stressed out with the abdominal gas and still feeing the addiction to pizza and fast food. But I am pushing forward. My biggest issue right now is the fatigue and muscle aches I get when I wake up and before bed. I hope this is normal. Anyways, thanks for listening.

Hi Tim,

My surgery is in two days and my weight is similar to yours. I started out at 268 and lost 18 thus going into surgery at 250. I am twice your age (72) and I had to do some convincing for the surgeon to do the sleeve on me. I will be interested in your progress.

      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?
