It's so nice to be able to come to a place where people understand where you're coming from with your weight problems and make it easy for you to ask questions because they understand...I'm sure we all want to be treated with respect here and I'm sure everyone will understand. Thanks for that. :)

same here!! at first I thought, well it's do-able, but then when I had to drink the whole two giant cups full I just couldn't see myself finishing and snuck in the rest room to dump about half a cup. I still drank a whole lot and felt like puking. by the time I got home, I ended up on the toilet(with the nasty barium coming out the other end for the rest of the day) EWW!!

      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.
