banded on Monday, it's Thursday. Surgery was fine, doc said my innards were wonderful. Came out of anethesia fine. I was very gassy and swollen stomach. In fact I still have shoulder pain.

Past few days have been iffy . Pain wa more than I thought it would be. Honestly my c-sections were way easier .

Last night, the skin on my neck felt itchy and strange. No biggie, I get hives from my dogs sometimes. Wake up and my wrist hurts, feels swollen. I think I slept funny on it. About 3 hours later I have hives all along y forearm, and my wrist really hurts. It swells a bit and starts to feel numb. Numbness spreads up my neck to my bottom lip.

Paged doc, he is at hospital about 40 miles north of me. Wants me to meet him immediatly.

Ended up speanding 7 hours in the ER. No one really knows why this happened. No blood clot on Ultrasound. They are saying it's how my nervous system reacted to the anesthesia, perhaps. Anyway my right forearm is ON FIRE....

Ever hear of such a thing?

this is not the arm the iv was in

      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?
