You will be so amazed at the results let me tell you. I have lost 36 pounds all together. 25 lbs since surgery. 36 with the pre admission diet. I have much more energy already. Although I have much more to go I think I most of it is confidence that I am actually losing for once and it keeps going instead of coming back. I like myself again.

Thanks for the encouragement! I can't wait to see the scale steadily moving again! I've lost 65 pounds on my own, but, now, it's getting harder and harder. I'm so looking forward to starting life again once I've lost the weight! There's a LOT that I used to do that I REALLY want to do again! I can't wait!

Wow, my surgery date is 12/9 also. (Small world ! LOL)

I am a little nervous, you know the unknown and all that. But from reading these sites I have learned a lot and it has eased my worry alot.

Good luck to you. I hope all goes well.

Pam

      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?
