Yes it's possible to lose inches and not weight. As of this morning (4-1/2 wks postop), I've only lost 5.5 pounds since surgery but I'm down 2 sizes in tops and 1 in bottoms (I had more belly fat to lose than butt). Even my feet have lost a size.

Hi Shay

Don't worry it is still early in the game. I didn't lose anything (in fact I gained) until about three to four months in and a lot of playing a round with restriction. I currently exercises and think it is always a good thing. But I have gone through stages where due to weight lifting I will lose inches but not actual pounds. Good luck and be patient.

      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?
