My name's Tiffanie I am 7 days post op today. I had a hard time during my pre surgery weight. I have 3 conditions chronic hives, hypothyroid and pcos. During my pre surgery stage I actually gained 20 lbs due to all the meds and steroid from my hives they had me on. I could not lose a lb to save me at all. I ended up getting approved for my surgery and I've been doing great already down 20lbs. I was walking 5 miles in the hospital and drinking my Protein match the day after surgery I also had a really bad hitel hernia surgery. So my recover takes a bit longer to swallow my foods and Water. One thing I am glad of is making sure to walk in the hospital that made my reCovery so much better. I have been over weight my whole life but never stopped me from doing anything and this is a journey in so excited to start. I got the gym tomorrow. Hardest part so far getting all my Water in. good luck to everyone.

      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.
