I'm scheduled for June 26th, exactly 1 week from today. I am a bit nervous but I can't wait!!! How long did it take to see some weight loss? I'm 5'4" 242lbs. I'm hoping to get to 200 by the end of August.

That's an optimistic loss - just be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment if you don't lose 42 lbs in 8 weeks. You have less to lose than many of us and might lose slower.

      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?
