I made it through surgery!! My surgery was scheduled for 1:00, everything went great. I do have some pain around my incisions but other than that I feel good. I did laps around the floor I was on once I was able to get up. I am feeling good - all in all. I will say I have had 2 c sections & my gallbladder out & I feel better right now than I did with either of these. Now the fun part begins! :)

Congrats!

It's good to hear about the painless surgeries as my time approaches.

Was there a lot of sitting around boring time or did they shoot you up and drag you off to surgery immediately then wake you up and send you on your way?

No I didn't have to be at the hospital until 11:00 (surgury was schedule for 1:00). I was called right back once I got there. There was about a 30 minute delay with surgery but my husband got to stay with me through that time. My doctor came out & said the person on front of me was hard to put to sleep so that put them behind. All & all it was very smooth. I left the hospital at 6:00. So I was there 7 hours.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
