Hello! I joined our merry band (if you'll excuse the pun) last Friday - April 25. The operation was performed here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where I'm working at the moment and I'm really happy with the progress so far.

My weight when I went in was 123.5kg (275.5lbs) and I'm now at 119kg (262lbs) but most of that is due to going without fluids and food for a few days I should imagine.

Anyway, thought I'd join up to share my progress and draw on your advice as the months pass by.

It's nice to meet you all! :biggrin2:

Welcome, future skinny person. Good luck with your band journey.

I know you're some distance from Burma, but did you get any of the big wind?

Well, I was pretty gusty for the first couple of days after the op, but all's well now. Thanks for asking!

(Joshing aside, as you were nice enough to enquire, we were totally cyclone free over here. Just another sunny, humid day...)

Hi and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on getting your band and that weight loss! Keep it up and good luck to you!

Glad you faired well through the cyclone. I have been following it on the news and that is just awful! Living in the southern US, I definitely feel you on the sunny, humid day thing!

      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?
