Hello all. My name is Jessi. Thought I would indroduce myself. I live in the Tx panhandle. Married my high school sweetie 11years ago:tt1:. We have two wonderful children. Jessalyn is 11 and Shelton is 6. I'm a full time nursing student and will graduate May 2009...wooooohoooo! I have always struggled with my weight, but when I got pregnant with Jessa @ 16, thats when the weight really piled on. :smile2: By the time she was 2 I was almost 300 lbs. Prepregnancy wt was 160. So fast forward-----> Wanted another baby really REALLY bad. Did all of the infertility stuff. Couldn't figure out why I could get pregnant @ 16 but not in my 20's. Dr told me all of my infertility problems were weight related. Lost 30lbs and BAM I had shelton 10 months later. So now, getting closer to thirty (but not YET) and I want to be healthy. I've had two back surgeries and a hyst. I'm so excited to say I;m leaving for MEXICO 5-11 and surgery will be 5-12. I'm soo ready to be healthy and hot again! So thats pretty much the short version about me. I'm really excited to get to know all of you.

Hi! Welcome aboard to the new life change about to happen! I was banded 2/8/08 and luckily I had gone to a nutritionist before my surgery and was prepared for this new life change and this week I go in and will probably be adjusted again. You will see marvelous results that regular dieting and exercise never did for me before either! Enjoy your new beginning! I am!

      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?
