Congrats to you also! I am really excited and believe this will be a great answer. I am currently 199.6 lbs and my goal is to get to 140lbs. The biggest encouragement is hopefully getting away from all the medication I have been put on lately.

Good luck! The only advice I have is bring a pillow for the rive home, if you go over a bump you will have that to surround your stomach. Other then that get a good night's sleep and relax. Congrats on the start to a new and healthier you.

Hi, Best of luck to you. I'm sure you'll do fine. The only thing I can tell you is to make sure you have a loose pair of pants or sweats for the ride home. You'll be somewhat bloated as I was, so the important thing is comfort for your belly.

Well guys, tomorrow was the day one week ago today! I have to say I am doing well. Other then my belly being bruised ( I bruise easily) I already have the staples out and I am on to protien shakes:thumbup::) The only thing that has bothered me a little is the smell of some of those food I love....especially the smell of garlic cooking on anything! Good luck to all....it will be a great beginning!:huh2:

      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.
