Questions about weight-loss post op.



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I had my surgery on November 23rd, 2018 and I weighed 369lbs. As of today, I'm 295lbs. In total, I've lost 74lbs in 3 months. Is that the appropriate amount to be losing? Should I have lost more than that 3 months post op? I always feel like I could be doing better...any advice would be a huge help! Thanks!

Here's a comparison photo from the last 3 months. 20190228_183548.jpeg

Everyone will lose at different rates.

Your pace will be perfect for you as long as you are healthy, consistent and happy.

Consult your team to see where they would like you to be.

Seems like a good pace to me. Just don’t get discouraged when it starts to slow down, you won’t lose that quickly forever!

Congrats on your loss 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?
