I decided last june 2016 to finally do something about my weight, seemed like i puffed and panted when trying to do thing i used to love. My kids could see at the beach it was a struggle to take long walks, i would have to rest, i have a 3 year old granddaughter and i just couldn't play with her like I wanted to, my knees, my back would be in constant pain. I went to the seminar in june. I weighed 290 lbs and started the process, following the nutrition guildline where hard writhing everything down but slowely things started to fall in place . In August 2016 my house burnt down and we lost everything that's when i really got serious no food, i started living on Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches​ , we moved Oct into a new house and I actually was scared that now i could cook, i would backslide but nope,

I got approved Feb 2017 for surgery and my surgery is scheduled April 4th gastric sleeve and gall bladder removed. Im excited!!!

My start weight was 290 currenty im 260.

      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.
