My abdomen is swollen and uncomfortable especially after I drink. Is this normal? It's swollen all the time (sticking out a bit like I'm pregnant) and discomfort comes after I drink. Did everyone else have this and what did you do about it? How bad? When did it go away? Did you do something to help it? Thank you in advance.

After surgery I was quite swollen just over a week. Between trapped gas and general swelling it was uncomfortable. However it didnt hurt to drink anything. I did have to drink pretty slow at first. Now its all good.

I really didn't notice any swelling for me. I am sorry wish I could be more help. I was gassy for the first few weeks and still get burpy after I eat.

      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?
