Hi I been sleeved 5 yrs now. So I have been right where your at. I started at 285 lbs. had to do 6 months diet, exercise and nutritional and physiological counsling. I went to 247 lbs day of surgery. But that was hard. I also quit smoking and drinking carbonated soda and removed sugars.

The liquid stage was easy for me. I just drank everything. Slept and was great. I only had 1 issue and it was a stomach bug that bounced me to ER for dehydration (gotta love kids thy give us all the goodies).

I lost to my goal within 7 months past surgery 125-130lbs. But I felt to thin and looked like a skeleton with skin. I'm only 5 3"

With dr permission I gained back to 135 and held that for 4 years. I recently fell off the wagon. (Numerous stressors in my life 5 deaths since October 14). So I am back on wagon liquids and measuring.

I didn't have a chance to cheat pre op. since my date was suppose to be nov 2010 I got called and bumped up ASAP for my surgery. I was approved for the sleeve and head honchos and reps and dr's were all coming in to watch the 1st ever sleeve done in the hospital.

I did have to do Clear Liquids and Protein for 2 weeks and th night before I had to do a gallon of GI cleaner. Yuck. Now that stuff is horrid. 3 days post op stay for observation and home. I was up and walking and in the mall shopping by day 6.

      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.
