First visit with my surgeon!

by dj5683 on 02-05-2015 at 09:31 PM
So I had my first visit with my surgeon today. And now I'm a little confused!!! He says I am an ideal candidate and sees no reason not to proceed. I am thrilled to hear it. My only problem is that he says he recommends the gastric bypass over the sleeve for my situation. He feels that I would get better longterm and better immediate results form the bypass.

Weight Watchers?

I got sleeved but my spouse is loosing weight too?

by dj5683 on 01-24-2015 at 10:16 PM

What about my caffeine addiction?

by dj5683 on 01-20-2015 at 08:01 PM
So I am definitely one of those "Not a Morning Person" kind of people. My six year old won't even approach me until I've had my first cup of coffee. (And by "cup" I mean 20 oz travel mug.) On top of that, me and Dr. Pepper have been having a love affair for more than half my life. I've read that I will have to give up caffeine after my sleeve surgery, but I've read on some of these blogs that coffee in the morning is ok in moderation. Once I get past the withdrawal headaches
