Hey csmart,

Welcome, I had my surgery in Wednesday. How are you feeling? This is a great site to get a lot of support as I've discovered over the last month.

Hi Katie,

I can't believe how much better I am feeling definitiely on the road to recovery. How are you feeling?

I feel really well. Surgery was Wednesday at 8:30am, back at hotel about 2pm. And then yesterday at 11:30 flew back home (a little over 1 hour flight) , so all things considered I can't believe how good I feel. A little tired but not too sore.

Didn't really know what to expect from following the site for the past month, (some do really well and some not quite as well) but pleasantly surprised. I'm on a week of full liquids, what about you?

      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?
