So, my surgery is scheduled for March 28th. But, I am not sure if I am having the sleeve or gastric bypass now. I went in to my appointment all geared up for the sleeve, my surgeon said since I have significant GERD that the sleeve may make it worse. He said that he would still do the sleeve for me if that is what I choose, so I have to make my decision before March 16 - my pre- op appointment. Hmmmmm. . . what to do.

Oh gosh, that's a hard decision. I am in no way an expert on any of it but bypass scares me. Which one does your Dr recommend you get? I hope whichever you decide, you get great results!

He basically said that gastric bypass is the "gold standard" and that I will lose more weight with this surgery. But, I have to say that he didn't pressure me one way or another. He says he will do either surgery for me, which is cool, but scary at the same time. I am not sure if I am I am readynfor bypass. . .

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
