How long after surgery did anyone sit in one of these? I called and DR said wait a week from surgery, I am 2 weeks out but wanted to know if anyone has been in one after surgery and how long after?

Thanks

Dr. told me one week, I was back at the gym working out, including 30 minutes in the sauna, then 15 in the hot tub. Also was cleared to lift weights, but told me not to over do it.

I have to say that this was when I went back to see him one week after my surgery, so he was able to see my incisions, etc.. It was then I asked him the question.

Mine said no baths or hot tubs until my incisions were completely healed.

I would wait until ALL of your incisions are completely healed ~ NO sooner!

      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?
