Doing great since surgery 10/10. Highest weight 210, presurgery weight 193 current weight 144 lost 64 total, 49 pounds since surgery.

I had wanted the duodenal switch. My pcp said no way. He was convinced that malabsorption was horrible. We talked for awhile and when I told him that I had been dieting without a good result (always gained it back no matter what) for 52 years and this is what I wanted. He then said he would only refer for a sleeve. I said great and 10 weeks later I was sleeved. If your doctor won't cave I agree a new md is the way to go. My doctor is in his 70s and close to retirement so if he hadn't caved I would have gone elsewhere.

I used to live in San jose California

Surgery was 10/16, down 16 lbs from surgery date. Feeling great! First day back at work, and found out that my slacks I wore pre-surgery are not possible to fit in now. Have to go shopping tonight for a few pair to hold me over for a few weeks. It's good to be able to see and feel the difference, even in a short time. Almost 70lbs down from my highest weight.

I am only 6 days post surgery and I feel the same way. I have definitely never been this jazzed to eventually eat an egg.

I also am not on a liquid diet and I had an enlarged fatty liver on my sono. My doctor had told me to lose 8 pounds before surgery and I have lost 13 and am continuing what I am doing which is changing habits. Aiming for very low carbs. no sugar increasing Protein etc. so I think it depends on the md. I went to a ucsf support group and they appear to put everyone on a liquid diet. I am only 5'1" and started at 208 and am now at 195.
