I am almost 7 weeks post op. I have lost about 24 pounds. I see inches more (I went from a 2x/3x scrub top to XL and a 2x scrub pant to L). I feel like I am not doing as well as I should. Can anyone give me advice? It all happened relatively quickly so I think in a few ways I wasn't completely prepared. Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?

Sounds like you are doing well. Why don't you think so?

A loss is a loss, any way you look at it, and if you're losing inches, that's definitely awesome! Everyone loses weight differently, and at their own pace. Best of luck!!

I think 24 lbs in 7 weeks is great! Congrats also on all those inches lost.

hey inches is great that means you might be building on lean muscle and if you have more muscle you will burn more fat. I always find it funny at times when people want to have like a 60 lbs drop in a month.....yea come on it is not going to happen unless you were at around 400 to begin with and I also state would you have lost 24 lbs in 7 weeks before. There is no way I could of. If it's inches lost or lbs...it's a loss not a gain right? You are doing great and I'm sure will be happy and enjoy your new journey soon!

      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?
