So I have my 2nd visit with the surgeon next week. On that day I will also meet with the dietician and have my Psych eval. My insurance only requires 3 month visits so next month will be my last appointments. I’m extremely nervous about having my weight checked because I can’t gain any weight during this 3 months per insurance. Now I quit smoking 8 days ago and I just feel like I have gained weight due to snacking. I took Chantix for 2 days and didn’t like the side effects so I’m pretty much winging this cold turkey.

Did anyone gain weight between the first and second dr. visit ?

Your doctor will consider that you're quitting smoking when evaluating your weight.

You're doing 2 wonderful things for your body at once! That's great!

Good luck! You are not alone.

From what I understand my dr only submitted my initial weight and my last visit weight. I’d check with your surgeons office. If it’s the same for you it will set your mind at ease to know a little fluctuation is not going to derail you as long as that final weigh in is at or under goal

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
