Hi there, hows it going so far? Are you happy with your decision. I had mine fitted in July last year, and have lost 39lbs so far. I am originally from the U.K but now live in Canada.

Hi

Yes i am very pleased with my decision as i know i won't put the weight back on. At the moment I am hungry as i don't have my first fill until March so its my willpower at the moment which is hard. I have only lost 12lbs up to now in the 3wks, but have noticed i have lost loads of inches, which is great!!

      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?
