openag-my ps estimated that he removed 8lbs during the surgery. I have really been watching what I'm eating and I was able to start walking at 2 1/2 weeks post op. I can't lift weights, run, or work out on my elliptical trainer until 6 weeks. I started off walking 3-4 miles per day and now I'm up to 7-8 miles. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've heard that having these big surgeries speeds up the metabolism. When are you having your surgery?

Thanks everyone. I posted a 4 week picture today and I can't believe the difference. The incisions are fading a little bit now and the swelling is going down. If you look close in the 4 week pic you can see my lap band port sticking out like a sore thumb. I really wish I would have gotten the low profile port, but it didn't work out. I may consider getting it done at a later date. I just hate to get cut open again!

Wow - four week pic is fabulous! It gives me hope because I'm two weeks behind you.

Congratulations!

I love my band!

      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?
