Hi there! I had my first appointment with the surgeon today. I have a 3 month supervised diet to go through where I have to lose 17 pounds. I will also have to do labs, EKG, a meeting with a nutritionist, and the psych eval. Seems pretty standard. Looking forward to this new stage in my life.

Thank you! We discussed bypass mostly. He said the sleeve was an option but from what I've read so far I prefer the bypass.

You're welcome. I was not a candidate for sleeve because of some underlying conditions, but given a choice I think I still would have chosen bypass.

For me, there are a few more "checks and balances" associated with bypass. In 9 days, I'll be 6 months post op, and as of today, I'm down 103-ish pounds.
