UGH! This snowstorm is kiling me!



Recommended Posts

Jeez, stuck in the house for 3 days. I am stir crazy and feel the need to eat all day long! I am doing the best I can, but it is so, so hard! I have been trying to get back on track from the holidays, but I keep flubbing! I purposely went out to shovel some more today, just to get out of the house!

I agree, Monday was one week since surgery for me, I wanted to get out of the house so bad, so I decided to go back to work and shoveled my car out. Not a very good idea one week post op and I hope I did not do any damage doing so, my back and arm are so sore today. I go for my post op tomorrow, not sure whether to tell my surgeon. But as with you, I am so bored being at home (always off on Tuesday and Wednesday), there is so much snow and it is so cold, I can't really go for a walk, and not risking going to the gym until my recheck.

I'm one week post op also. I am just taking it easy. I did some laundry and bending. Went back to my preschool and worked a few hours on Monday. But, I felt kind of weak and dizzy. Called my doctor and went to see physician's assistant today. She told me that it is still a major surgery and the body needs to heal. Take it easy and walk, not heavy lifting of any kind. Be so careful. I pushed it too much, didn't stay up on my pain meds and I'm kind of paying for it this week.

      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?
