So, I'm a little over four weeks post-op and have lost twenty pounds since surgery, fifteen of which was in the first week. I was a little down at not losing anything for three weeks straight... but I measured my waist on impulse this morning and I'm two inches less than a month ago!? I don't even know if that's normal, but I'm rather pleased with it.

Just felt like sharing the happy today. :)

i also noted a greater loss in belly inches in the months when my weight loss was the lowest, always found that odd.

I agree. My situation is very similar. I continue to lose more inches when my weight isn't reflective on the scale.

Losing inches is almost better than weight ... at least I think so.

I was amazed ... I was so focused on the scale and then one day WHAM holy moly inches had fallen off of waist and chest. Oh and the butt?? Don’t remember when that went but it’s gone lol. For me it was the constant pant sizes dropping .... literally every 2 weeks I needed new pants haha

Congrats on your inches!!

      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?
