I thought it was hilarious...I finally had my consult yesterday with the surgeon, and after taking my history, she looked at me and said, "well, i think you are a perfect patient for this surgery".

i thought that was pretty funny...when was the last time you'all were considered a 'perfect physical specimen', heh?:blushing:

i didnt know there was such a thing as perfectly fat :lol:

You know that's exactly what my doctor said to me!!! It was the first time I went to a doctor and didn't mind being weighed and knew I wasn't going to be lectured!!! He was so kind as to not mention what my actual weight was in front of my husband (although he knew) and was very respectful of me. Now, isn't that the way it should always be!!!

Good luck

me too!!! I thought it was hilarious as well. But nice, for once to be just perfect :P Until I went to the nutrition eval, and the nice, skinny lady asked me how I thought I got to this situation. Well, I suck at dieting, I eat alot and I don't exercise - duh!!! I really tried to come up with a more pithy response, but that's the bottom line, isn't it? So she says, "you'll really need to adopt an exercise plan and focus on eating small amounts" - again, REALLY???? YOU THINK?? Goodness, would I be getting Lap Band if I wasn't committed to doing those things? OK, I'm finished ranting now :mad:

I'm gonna focus on the being perfect bit again...:smile2:

I've got one that may even beat that....we were talking about which band to use/outcome of surgery etc and my surgeon said "We could really do just about anything since you have so little to lose." Hahahahahahahaha......I was 275.2lbs that day, so LITTLE to lose. I think I laughed all the way home!

      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?
