I started at 210 at 5'6. I had my surgery on 9/16/17. Since then, I've been losing steadily and I'm concerned that I am at 110.... I am never able to eat much, and my hunger is gone!!!!! I have to remind myself to eat, and when I do, its like all a 2 year old could eat. Scared!

What did your surgeon, surgical team and nutritionist have to say?

What is your current BMI? How are all your bloods? What do your surgical team think and what advice have they given you

I'm sure you are scared with a BMI that is in the underweight range. Might be a good idea to contact your team.

I agree with other posters. If you keep dropping you need to contact your team and they may have you eat a bit differently to gain a little back. I have always thought the happy medium was to find the balance to where you werent losing nor gaining to maintain. I am not sure though as i have never been there, but your dr would know best. Keep us posted!

      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?
