I am 5 days post-op and am down 17lbs. I went for my follow up today and the doctor was looking at me like I was crazy, like I did something wrong. Did anyone else drop this much weight this fast? Personally, I am happy about it :thumbup:. However, I do know that the weight loss will slow once I introduce more food. Right now I am having all liquids, creamy Soup, and oat meal.

I think it all depends on how much you have to lose. I lost a significant amount of weight in the beginning and then slowed over time. Let him look at you crazy all he wants to...your 17lbs. down! Good for you!

Congrats!!! That's great.

I lost 18 pounds in 8 days post op.

I am now 6 weeks post op and am down about 26 pounds. So once I introducd foods, it significantly slowed.

      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.
