I quit smoking in January after being a pack a day smoker for 20+ years. Just back away from the nicotene product and just say no. The longer you go without the quieter that nagging voice becomes.

I agree. I was w/ someone not too long ago that said " hey hand me a piece of that gum " I looked and realized it was nirorette gum " I told her ' Hey i did not know you just quit smoking " she said " OH yeah 2 YEARS AGO " She quit smoking but got addicted to the gum LOL I thought it was a little funny and silly at the same time !!!

      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?
