Am I Suppose To Be Here



Recommended Posts

I asked am I'm I suppose to be here is because I haven't had any surgery. My starting weight was 376 last year. Enough was enough for me. I made up my mind and did it. I now weigh 282 pounds! I'm losing more. My skin in certain areas is now drooping. I'm kinda now lost. I feel alone. If I'm doing anything wrong, let me know. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums.

Congratulations on your success.

While you have different challenges than us post-ops it all comes down to changing habits and staying on plan.

It would be interesting to hear what you are doing. Almost all of us have done successful diets in the past and often the downfall is AFTER the diet when we gained the weight back. So, stay focused on your plan even after you've lost your weight. I hope you're in the 3% of successful diets for MO folks.

My opinion is your surgical status doesn't matter. We are in this together.

Good luck,

Tek

      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?
