Pre and post opp I lose weight like a ladder. Lose 4 lbs. gain 1 back, lose 2 lbs. stall lose 1 lb. gain 2 back, etc. I look at long term trends instead of my daily weight. Water retention or Constipation could result in a small gain like that.

It's just normal Water and weight daily fluctations probably. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yes, I gain and lose sporadically with a general downward trend. So for example, I was 242.6 a few days ago, the next day 243, then 242.8, this morning I am down to 241.2. This is a typical pattern for me.

      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.
