I am 4 days post opt and tonight I am experiencing the worst pain so far. So here what is going on.

I have a terrible sore throat so I poured some salt in my throat and then a drink of Water. Immediatly I started to not feel good. My back behind my left breast is hurting my left leg is hurting. Does anyone know why and if salt would cause this to happen. I have been drinking tons of water since and I have paged my doctor but I am starting to panic Help anyone!

Yikes, don't pour salt in your throat.

Put warm Water in a glass, put salt in it. Stir it til salt is dissolved. Then gargle and SPIT IT OUT.

I hope you are ok.

You are to gargle with the salt Water not drink it. You need to get checked out to much salt can make you sick, da,. You don't want to miss your date because your sick.

Day Four was my worst day. The sore throat is likely from being intubated. A saltwater gargle is a good idea; throwing salt down your gullet then drinking Water ...not so much.

I hope you feel better fast! For me, it was all smooth sailing after the fourth day.

      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.
