I realize I can no longer do this alone



Recommended Posts

For six years I tried to make myself a success story by loosing over one hundred pounds by eating right and exercise.

My weight always fluctuated in the fiveyears 240 to 290, I exercised, that wasn't the problem.

It was my anti-psychotics that put me here, and I feel like a bottomless pit when it comes to food.

I need my antipsychotics and I realize I need surgery to help with the never feeling full, the rest I can do and achieve.

I weigh right now: 267 and I am 5'8

Before I put on the weight I weighed 155

This is going to be a new year, I don't want to make it year number six of being morbidly obese I want it to be a change.

I am happy I found this site,

And hello

Lisa

Good for you Lisa! I can relate to much of your story. I always thought I should be able to do it on my own. 3 years ago I looked into the surgery and even had a surgery date. But, I kept thinking that I should be able to do it on my own. Well, 3 years later, I had put on even more weight, and I realized there was nothing wrong with admitting that I needed a tool to help me achieve my goals. Good luck on your journey!

      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?
