Going to the seminar on the 20th. I want this so bad. I have been over weight since I was a teenager. I'm 5 3 and I weigh 220. I have lost weight in the past but gained it back and then some.

Hi Teri,

I have no clue yet. I have not talk to the doc yet, I hope to talk to the doc soon. I need to lose this weight. I have three kids and have not got to get down to where I was before I had my boys.

well i had my surgery about 2 years ago and let me tell you i think it's the best decision i could had ever done in my life, i was also 230lbs and 5'2. i'm now 165lbs and off all meds. i was on high blood pressure med. and got off just a month after surgery, my weight loss has been slow but steady. i think you too would be happy once you get this done and get to your goal weight. gotta tell you it's not easy but if you put your mind and effort it's very effective.

good luck to both and god blees you!

      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.
