After you have the sleeve, what would cause you to not like certain things you used to like before. I'm starting my 8th week out and there are a couple things I loved before hand but now..yeah, not so much. Does this type of surgery mess with your taste buds too?

Somehow it does, yes. A lot of people find they lose the taste for certain old favorites, and/or start liking things they never liked before. I don't think anyone knows how or why! I know that pre-op, I hated eggs my entire life -- just smelling them made me feel sick to my stomach. Now I have an egg almost every day (dinner) and look forward to it tremendously! I would choose eggs over ice cream for the rest of my life if I had to pick.

My tastes have not changed but they have came more extreme. Things that I was lukewarm on pre-op like scrambled eggs, I hate post-op. Never liked yogurt, despise yogurt now. Loved fish before, really love fish now.

      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?
