I had my 6 month post op visit the other day. I can't believe it has already been that long! It seems like just yesterday I was struggling to eat broth! I have come a long way and learned even more these 6 months. I still struggle with certain foods but I have never been more sure that this was the best decision of my life! I still have a ways to go and still sometimes have to force myself to go to the gym and occasionally force myself to not eat peanuts lol, but I will get there. I am down 91 pounds so far. I really hoped to hit 100 pounds by 6 months but I know that I need to be proud of what I have accomplished. I basically lost the equivalent of my niece and nephew put together. That's crazy! The doctor was very pleased and my blood work all looks great! I hope everyone has similar and even better success! To anyone starting out, it is very hard especially at first. It's overwhelming at times and an emotional journey. Sometimes I miss my old friends sugar and fat, but I quickly get over it and know I would do this again in a heartbeat!

      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?
