Hi everyone,

Hope your all having a great Sunday morning. I am extremely excited to start this new journey. I was trying to find a place where I could ask questions or just feel support from others that have gone through this same experience. I'm excited to learn new information from everyone here. :D

Lpz0714,

Welcome, I had my WLS on July 2nd 2013. I had the RNY but some things cross over in both WLS. If you need any questions that I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask. Again Welcome!!

Super happy, I had no complications so it was smooth sailing for me

Research everything

Don't buy too much ahead of time

Follow your plan closely

Walk even if it's only for a few mins indoors

Smile in the mirror even if you don't like what you see yet

Track food and Water meticulously

Don't become a slave to the scale

Wow thank you for the advice Tealael I especially appreciate the comment about smiling at myself. I have to remind myself it is little by little and I will eventually meet my goals. I was worried about the scale but I'm glad you mentioned to not become a slave. I will do my best and be patient. Thank u again for your kind words. 😊

      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?
