I am officially two and a half months out and I am down 50.6 pounds as of today! I am so happy that I chose to go through with gastric sleeve surgery out of pocket and am amazed at my progress and how far I’ve come

Wow, that's awesome! I'm about the same amount of time out but I've only lost about 42.

So, maybe you can encourage me. I'm about 2 weeks post op. My first week I saw a loss of 5 pounds. Second week I've lost 2. Did you see slow loss? Or did it melt away pretty quick? My sister-in-law had it 18 months ago. She lost 30 pounds a month! 90 down in 3 months. She said everyday was a loss. I'm not so lucky. She seemed concerned. I see my surgeon on Thursday. I'm just trying to get a feel of how realistic my goals I set for myself are.

It will all be worth it. Don't give up!

At first it was kind of slower and I even gained some as I transitioned from barely being able to sip on Water to being able to eat Soups and actual food but after about a month it started happening more quickly for me. Good luck!

      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?
