I decided that I had to do something after I realized that I was continuing to have health issues that was attributed to my weight. Without telling anyone, I signed up to begin my journey and started my journey in Feb 2016 to a much healthier and happier life.

My stats were as follows:

HW 325; SW 289; CW 268

57 lbs down in total

21 lbs down since surgery (1.5 months)

I was sleeved on 12/21 and recovery went well. I couldn't have made a better decision.

Sharing my progress with you all...

Wishing everyone a successful journey and stay tuned for more updates.

Im going in Feb 27th. I backed out the first time 2 years ago. It was a mental road block for me, but I now realize I need to do this before I get sick. How are you feeling since surgery and how difficult is the liquid phase?

I'm feeling great JerseyJules! I actually didn't mind the liquid phase. I moved faster than expected through Clear Liquids, then full liquids, purée, and solids because I wanted to get back to work after 2 weeks knowing what I could and could not tolerate food wise.

      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?
