My friends pushed me out of the circle post weight loss surgery. They stated they didn't want to make me feel bad eating around me.

Since then I've upgraded to better more active friends. My surgery weeded out the duds.

I must say that prior to my surgery I partied more than I care to admit and those so called "friends" were very supportive of my decision to have WLS. However, they are nowhere to be found now that I'm almost a month post op.

and

My husband is truly supportive of my decision and does his best to be flexible with all my constant dietary demands and changes.

This is sort of true for me, although we didn't "party" my friends and I did go out and do things at least 1-2 times a month. My friends are thin & were very supportive of me getting surgery, so I really don't know what I have done, but now I am not included in any plans. Even though I know now that they are truly not friends it hurts to be left in the dust. Thankfully I have my husband.

My best friend voiced her opinion and was against me having surgery. I simply told her that she didn't have to live in my body. We barely speak anymore and I have seen her one time since. And even after a 20lb. Loss she didn't congratulate me or say anything about it. I guess I don't matter as much as I used to.

My friend is starting to treat me differently. I chose not to tell anyone about my WLS but instead saying that I am making good food choices, changing the way I eat, and working out (all true).

Now whenever I see her I see her look me up and down and wrinkle her nose.

I hope I don't lose her but if I do then it's probably for the best.

      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?
