well done with the 12 pounds!!!

I had the Lap Band put in so slightly different but I made a friend in hospital someone who had the sleeve and it has been great as we both went in same day and able to spend the few days after walking the halls together and we text nearly daily with updates of new information we find out about ourselves.

There will be days where you wake up and feel great - and no issues or anything and there will be some days where the body is not feeling it and to which you may feel you're going backwards. being 3 weeks out, definitely listening to my body has been the biggest lesson! and my sleeve friend has found the same too. Both finding some days we aren't hungry some days we are - She has found she can tolerate Pasta some times and some times she can't.

Take it as a positive that you're feeling normal and doing everything right by what has been advised :) people are more likely to post issues than complements too don't forget :D

Yes, I've felt great since surgery. I'm not quite 2 months out and I'm down nearly 70lbs. I think you just had an easy recovery and that is great. I hope it continues for you, me, and everybody else. So far only heavy, dry meats have given me any discomfort and that was very mild. Just make sure to not introduce too many things at once. That way, if something doesn't sit well with you, it will be easier to pinpoint the problem food. Congrats so far.

      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?
