So excited to see so many from Utah here. I live in Wyoming but will have my surgery at LDS next month. I went through Rocky Mtn Associated Physicians. Good luck to all!

So I've been MIA from BP, I wanted to know how everyone is doing especially cause we all are from UT. I had my surgery on March 2, 2016. Everything went perfectly, I was so pleased. I started my Pre-Pre-Op diet on Jan 15,2016. I'm down 82 lbs since then. I'm loving life and excited for all the new things I'm doing. I workout 5-6 times a week.. Please let me know how you all are doing..

@@UtahChica congratulations! You look great! I'm glad everything went so well. Did you have bypass or sleeve?

@@UtahChica glad you are doing great! I had my surgery April 8th with Dr Zavalza. I am down 40 pounds and feel great. This surgery was not anywhere as difficult as I thought it would be. I had almost zero pain and recovery was a cinch. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Dr Embley at Eagle Mountain clinic has been great with me! Far if you're in SLC but he is really good.

@@kyleegirl01, thank you for letting me know on your doctor you are very kind.

I'd love to meet up with other sleevers in our area if you are interested. I had another friend who also had the surgery a week or so ago and her experience wasn't the best. I'm trying to be there for moral support.

I also have a IG account if you are interested, I'm kind of weird and haven't shared it publicly with a lot of people. Just very close friends and some family.

I have yet to publicly share the info as well. I'm not opposed at all to getting together. Maybe we could all go geocaching? Get us outdoors and moving.

OMG!! I'm sorry I don't get on BP very much. I have an IG if anyone wants to see my progress or communicate. I'd love to see others progress and positive motivations too. My IG is under VegMex_VSG

      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?
