Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I am new to this so I will give you the quick version. Started my journey at 345 and got down to 325 for surgery which I had on August 5th 2015. As of this morning I am down to 263 and no regrets at all. I have been reading all the great stories in here, that have inspired me and encouraged me to join this site. It`s been an amazing journey so far and I can not wait to reach my goal.

      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?
