:thumbup:Hi, everyone - I am a 53 year old wife, mother, grandmother from Savannah, MO. I had my surgery on October 1st. I have lost 5 pounds in one week - 20 total since my 2 week preop liquid diet started. I am nervous and a little apprehensive - I have lost weight before but have never been able to keep it off so this is my final ditch effort to get healthy and stay that way! Thanks for this site - I can already see that it is going to be a terrific source of support. Granny

Hey, you sound just like me except I'm 56 and I was banded on 8-21. I've lost 43 pounds altogether. I'm wishing it would come off faster, but I realize that isn't what this is about. I've lost lots before only to have it come back.. I'm tired of feeling great about myself only to have to bear the shame when it comes back!!!! I think we have finally got this going the right way.. Best of luck to you... Julie

      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?
