I haven't written for a few .on the due to some issues. I almost died passed on 2 weeks ago due to intestines and absorption issues. I guess when we get gassy we have to be very careful because our intestines can rupture. I thought looking 6-7 pregnant sometimes was normal, just had to pass it. Lol. They are trying to give me banana bags monthly, also an IV cocktail. To help, the first banana bag was ok but I was in so much pain and out I couldn't tell, the second one I wanted to get up and wonder around but since my body was healing I had to sit often. I stayed home for, 4 days trying to care for myself. Then I was admitted for 2.5 days and close to death. So now ER ASAP with pouch and intestines. I was 258, now between 132 -136.

      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.
