I just found this thread and was curious to know how everyone is doing a year later! I did my nutrition classes and psych clearance through the Christiana Weight Management Program, but I'm not having my surgery at CHRIAS.

@tlh4life well, it's almost a year and I feel great! This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. I'm down 67 pounds. I would still like to loose another 25 pounds. But, it does get a whole lot harder after the honeymoon phase is over. I'm off all of my meds! And no more cpap machine! And I feel great! My husband is at his goal weight, he had his surgery exactly one week after me. He is also off meds and cpap! We have both had some wls associated Hair loss at around the 5 month mark, not too bad though, its just starting to slow down now. Neither of us have any excess skin issues. The first few days at home after the surgery are the worst, but you will get through it. You will get some pain when you eat too much or too fast, just listen to your body and not your brain. You will be ok. The Premier Protein shakes have been a Godsent! I still drink them. I get them at costco. Good luck to you on your journey, I hope you are as happy as we are 😙😙😙

      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?
