We just got back last night from a four-day trip to Reno via the California Zephyr. The train ride was slow and expensive compared to driving, but very scenic. It was good to do it once, but I don't think we'll repeat the experience.

For the whole four days, I snacked like crazy. I didn't eat anything particularly bad, but I just kept feeling hungry. I also finally got my first glass of wine. Thank goodness for my sleeve. Without it, I probably would have been eating a lot more at each sitting, making this a disastrous departure from my normal eating patterns. But instead, I weighed the same when I returned as I did the day I left. So I got away with it this time. I know I'll have to work on controlling the urge to snack while on vacation, though. I can't rely on the surgery to save me from bad habits.

I totally get this. I just got out of a 25ft RV that hubby and adult son have been living in while our modular home was being completed. I recuperated from surgery on the 6th of May in there and because I wasn't working it was hard to just SIT. I couldn't pick up anything to heavy or physically start moving stuff into the house - so glad we decided to start "squatting" in OUR house last Friday. Back at work today and it has been nice - no food commercials and walking around, moving around....love it! NO REGRETS!!!

      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?
