Ready to get serious



Recommended Posts

Hello My New Support Team,

I am a 44 (45 in days) year old first time mommy ready to get serious about her weight. I am 5'7" and last time I weighted around 240. I am sure it is more by now. I have got to do the six months I am sure before my insurance will cover it. But the good news is my hubby is supportive (just recently) and even chatting about having it done himself. I just want this site to be extra support for me and keep me focused of the main goal.......this is to loss weight and be there for the daughter (6 months) that we are in the process of adopting. Looking forward to posting as I go on this journey.:)

Hello and welcome to LBT! That is great to hear that your husband is so supportive of you and your surgery.... That will make your journey that much easier. That is wonderful to hear about the 6 month old baby girl I wish you lots of luck with all that is to come.

You picked a great site for support, questions and answers! The middle of July will be about a year that I started on my journey to try and get this done. My appointment for surgery was made in April, and I thought July would never get here. But......here it is the end of June, and I start my 2 week all liquids on July 10.

Anyway I'm so thankful for having found this site. I love just logging in, there seem to be soo many people who have the same fears,qustions,concerns about everything that I do.:)

      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?
