Hi all, Georgia gal here, I had surgery august 1 2012. Since then, I have lost 300 lbs, now stuck, gotten married, dealt with depression getting worse, recovering from major foot reconstruction, and just need support from like minded people... I am at this point mainly because I've let myself get here, but I'm so afraid of gaining again... my husband has never been over 200 lbs and just doesn't seem to get it. Idk I'm doing over eaters anonymous online now. just would like to share tips and talk etc..

Thanks for reading,

Jen

hey, welcome! this place is an amazing resource. you'll find lots of like-minded individuals here who can understand your triumphs and struggles in a way no one else can. It's been invaluable to me since even before my surgery last August.

I'm having an ACL reconstruction in just a couple weeks... not looking forward to being laid up during my "honeymoon" phase of weight loss, but hey, shit happens. *shrug* We all just do what we can with the tools we are given and hope for the best. 300 pounds lost is no small feat! That's incredible!

If there's ever anything I can help you with, feel free to friend/message me any time. I love making new friends. And the people here are all very friendly and kind, and generally just want to help. Don't be a stranger. ^_^

Thank you! I have found a lot of non weight bearing exercises to do on floor, after you get past your first 1 or 2 weeks... **** does happen, but it's going to be better once the sitting is over! I got a knee walker and that has been my savior bc I've been able to go walk outside and stuff.

      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.
