I can finally see that I have a wrist bone, an ankle bone and knee caps!

Sitting on hard chairs is uncomfortable with less padding! Had to buy char pads for the kitchen chairs! Knees press uncomfortable together when side sleeping. Seeing ankles, wrist, collar and hip bones is strange but wonderful. Had a really hard time after the winter break from riding my motorcycle last year when I found my center of gravity had shifted. Kept falling over with my bike in parking lots. That part has gotten better tho!

So many pokey bones. I'm not loving that, but I'm dealing with it. One great thing is that I feel really fit and strong since I've been exercising regularly. Love that feeling!

I am one of thoe people who lose from the top down, the feet up, and belly last. With about twenty pounds to go, I feel like a pencil that has a life saver around the middle. Oh well, when I get two my two year surgiversary, my insurance will pay for a panniculectomy.< /p>

When I'm showering I can look down and smile because I can once again see my...

...feet.

:lol:

I am delighted that I sweat MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH less than I used to. The immortal Al Bundy once said, "Do you know what fat does? Fast sweats."

He was right too.

Panniculectomy is a skin surgery that removes the excess belly skin below the belly button. Many insurance companies will cover it if you are having problems like rashes from the excess skin.

      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?
