Two days before my surgery I turned 60. I wish this surgery would have been available when I was 40 and maybe the last 20 years of my life would not have been so difficult. In 2004 I weighed 497 and had tried for the past 12 years to lose on my own. Since then I got down on my own to 315. Since surgery which was Jan 26th 2016 I have lost 67 more pounds for a total lost of 249 pounds. Today I weigh less than the weight I have lost.

I was 23 when I had my bypass last August. My highest weight two years ago was 442 (well, highest recorded weight. I have a strong feeling I was heavier than that). I was 387 the day of surgery, and today I weigh 221. I've lost exactly half my weight... according to the records, anyway. :)

I was 36, just two weeks shy of my 37th birthday. I had the sleeve done. Highest weight was 376 in 2011. Surgery weight was 319 in September 2015 and current weight is 185.4 as of this morning.

I was 35. I am now 37. I lost 71 pounds in my first year post-op to reach my goal of 165. I have lost about 10 more pounds without really wanting to in the 10 months since then.

      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?
