OK, so I weighed this morning in the bathroom. It said 230, I knew something had to be wrong because about 3 days ago, I only weighed 226. After being depressed I realized that I had been recently weighing myself in my bedroom with carpet. So, I take my scale in the bedroom and weighed again and it said 222. So my question today is as follows, can weighing on carpet give you a different result than weighing on a rug? I know this is a crazy question, but good lord, I got 2 different reading within 30 minutes of each other? Maybe it's time for a new battery in my scale? I have no idea.

Also, try to use your scale once a week. The scale is my evil friend, if I use it everyday and gain or dont lose, I become sadden. Now, I avoid that by using the scale once, maybe twice a week.

I use it on my hardwood floor in the living room. I slip it under the couch when not in use. I only weight myself early morning after I pee, and naked. It's the best real weight.

If i am going to weigh myself I do it in the same place every time, that way I know there should not be a difference. However weighing on a carpet will give you a different result then a hard wood floor.

      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?
