5 Months post surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well. I am 5 months post surgery and down 62 pounds. I am very excited but scared it should be more? Also, do you all have "DAYS" where you just wanna eat and eat? It is like you can't get full.

Thank you all so much!

Congratulations. That is a great result for 5 mths. As you know, everyone is different so others will lose more and some will lose less.

I just passed my 3 mth mark and do have days where I want to eat and eat but can't because of restriction. My sleeve is helping me exactly the way I hoped it would. Haven't had days where I can't get full but I have found that some days I can eat more than on others.

Yes that is since surgery. It has slowed down a lot. I see other people saying they lost more and it gets me scared.

      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?
