There is nothing like trying on clothes that will remind you that you are fat!!! I needed to get a few dress pants...yeah lets just say it put a cramp in my day. In the dressing room i got really mad and was like " I can not wait to have this dang surgery" but I am trying not to let it ruin my day. I am going to try and not try on clothes again until after!

I know how you feel. But I will always be a "pear shape", bigger on bottom through my hips & thighs. Even though I have been losing, I still have my angry moments in the dressing rooms.

I know how you feel. I refuse to buy any new clothes until after the surgery!

Jess and sharie, just wait until AFTER surgery. You are constantly having to buy clothes. It is, however, a little more fun to buy smaller sizes each time. Prior to surgery, I was in a tight 26/28, so I dreaded trying things on. I was always worried that the biggest size wouldn't fit.:biggrin: I am also curvy, so I went from a right fit blue size 6T to a right fit blue size 1T. I started wearing the 1T about 9 months post op. It goes kind of quick, so put money aside to buy.

How long until your surgeries?

I am very excited to have the process going this fast!

      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?
