Down 75 lbs in under 6 months!!



Recommended Posts

I stepped on the scale today and couldn’t believe my eyes - I’m officially down 75 lbs! I had my SIPS (loop DS) with Dr. Roslin at Lenox Hill on July 17, 2917.

The first two months were the hardest but since then it honestly has been relatively easy. I don’t have cravings anymore nor a big appetite, and I feel satisfied with small Protein heavy meals. I’ve started cooking more (especially with low carb slow cooker meals that I can turn into freezer meals) and working out 2-3 times a week with a mix of personal training and cardio and interval training classes through ClassPass.

To any of you thinking about having this surgery and are scared or had it and are in a rut...today any pain from my recovery period or challenges on this road (that I still have a long way to go on!) felt like they disappeared. This is so worth it. Not just because of how much better I look or fit in my clothes or small successes from being smaller, like being able to fold my arms or cross my legs or not feel winded just from walking a few blocks...but because I feel like a whole new person inside and out. I have so much more energy, am sleeping better, my skin has even improved, I’m happier, I’m more social, I’m more motivated.

This is worth it.IMG_0864.JPG

      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?
