Cute. I'm 6' tall and 35 yo. I do a lot of exercise. I lost over 75 Lbs. In 4 months, no hanging skin.

That's great to hear, glad everything is going well. When could you start exercising?

I'm right in the same world as you. I started out at 320 (I'm 6'2") and am 38 years old. I went on a diet and at my first appointment I was 305. I have had 3 weigh ins (3 left, next is in two weeks), and completed everything except the cardiology consult.

Good luck with your journey. It is a lot of work (the hoops they make us jump through), but I do see the end, and you will too.

Awesome, let's keep in touch with our journeys. I am looking to do surgery in Dec 2017 just because I have a school break then. I'm a school teacher in central NY.

      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?
