i am over a year post-op...

Be excited about everything--it is all worth it

Crossing my legs in an airplane seat

wearing white pants

being able to clip my work badge on the waste band of my pants - with my shirt tucked in

spending all day at a fair or concert and not feeling exhausted after an hour

taking the stairs ALL THE TIME

feeling good about not eating junk

buying clothes off the rack

getting up from sitting down and having nothing hurt

crying about the number on the scale for the opposite reasons I did in the past

love every thing about the new you

I cant wait to be able to ride horses again, and bike riding comfortably!!!

I was excited to ride roller coasters again and I did so on my recent vacation. Such a great feeling!

You both hit some of my big goals. I so miss riding horses, that was such a passion of mine growing up. I also want to be able to spend time at the barn mucking stalls, grooming, etc...without dropping!

We live very close and are annual passholders to Disney. Generally, their rides are accomodating for size, however, I want to be able to ride in the same seat with my husband and daughter and toddler. And I want to ride the rollercoasters at Universal (they are not so accomodating).

Additionally, I want to be able to sit in an airplane seat and not need an extender or get "those looks" from passengers. You know the ones, "please don't let her sit here."

Most of all I want to live life and be there for my children!

      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?
