Hello all! I hope I'm doing this right? My name is Alyssa, I'm (just about) 23 years old. I started my journey at 330# after a pregnancy and nursing school. I tried so hard to lose weight, no success. After many tears, diets, etc. My doctor recommended surgery, and we got the process rolling. My surgery was 2/3/2015 and I am feeling great! Weight as of today is 199! I am aways away from my goal weight, but so happy to be where I am! post-253407-1430865507908_thumb.jpg

You must be really tall cause you don't look anywhere close to 199. Great job!!

Thanks all! It's been quite the journey thus far! I lost 40 lbs pre op, for insurance purposes I had to do 6 months of different things, etc. and yes, I'm fairly tall! 5'8"! Glad to be here! Seems like a great group to be apart of!

      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?
