Did everyone lose their boobs? Granted, I would rather be skinny and flat than my weight with my bra straps grinding into my shoulder.

I never discussed a final goal weight with my surgeon, so on my year check up on Sept 17th I asked him. I weighed in at 198 that day, 60 down in a year and he told me that he would like me to lose 40 more. He said he would be happy for me to be anywhere in the 150's. My initial goal for myself was 140. I am 5' 4"

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it. I am not saying that I wont try for 125, might as well. I feel so good at 149, how much better would it feel?!? I just felt like 135 was a little more realistic, but maybe not? I think I will just continue chugging along, I have just now started excersizing, that should help with sag. I know, I should have been doing it all along, but I didnt so better late than never. I love this website, there is so many people on here with great testimonies and suggestions! I dont think I could have made it this far without everyones help!

Thanks again,

Deanna

      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?
