Hoping for 100% EWL, not just 60%.

Indeed, typically you do not lose as much weight with banding as with gastric by-pass, but I'm hoping you will help me figure out how to lose it all. Suggestions? Advice?

Take up running!

Or some other form of exercise, but I can promise running works. Be dedicated to your exercise routine, work hard and regularly.

Eat well - that can vary person to person. For example, I absolutely dont believe that Protein is the be all and end all of weight loss and eat a carb based diet (wholegrains of course) like we were all taught to eat in the 80's and 90's. Others like their Protein based diets and they work too. Probably because NEITHER group is downing Mcdonalds, donuts and milkshakes.

Be prepared as you get towards the end for looooooong plateaus, it gets harder and harder to lose.

But it can be done without ridiculous methods.

      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?
