Hi Y'all,

I'm not sure if this would be the right place topost this thread but, i'm gonna go ahead and do it. I've been working so hard and it's taken so long for me to finally be "proud" of my self. I'm now more than half way there. I've lost 60lbs and have 47lbs more to go. I had my surgery 1/24/07 and was in a size 20/22 and here I am 7 months later in a 10/12. It feels so good and it just keeps getting better. I just wanted to be able to share that w/ people who appericate and understand how hard this journey can be for all of us.:clap2:

      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?
