that was awsome!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wanna dry my eyes, because that hits home, you know i've been on this just brousing around and reading everything that everyone writes about the process, wants, and needs, but i was forced to register after reading those beautiful words, you realy inspired me to actually move on with this whole thing, recently i just had spinal surgery, not from an accident, but due to the weight issues, now i never thought i had any doubts in myself, or self esteem issues, but after reading this, all i wanna do is, take family pictures(havent since i grad. highschool) buy clothes at the mall(not a specialty store) play baseball again, and enjoy the rest of my life before its gone.....now im just 31 and i shouldnt be falling apart like i am, but this weight is killing me......! I am making an apt to see my dr this coming week and see if we can get the ball moving.

Thanks for the inspiring words.....i needed that!!!!:mellow:

Great post. I have to buy a new wedding ring or get mine resized it fell off the other day. My fingers stayed thin, and now they are even thinner.

I also just want to be healthy and look "normal" again. Not the fat lady thing.

Hot body, hey those days are mostly gone. A lukewarm one is good LOL.

      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?
