Recommended Posts

So today is day 4 and I feel like a new women!! The soreness is still there but tolerable. The hungry gargling feelig has subsided and I can not tolerate my required liquids so much better. I got on the scale and I have dropped 7 lbs since the morning of surgery!! I'm goi to continue to keep moving and sit up but sleeping has been a big help in healing for me. Good luck to all banders and to all this who have been sick too I hope today is your day!!

Lb love

J

Day 4 for me too - and feeling much better! The "pain" is really just soreness (except for the port site - that still hurts when the pain meds wear off). Still haven't slept for a long stretch yet, but am getting plenty of rest. The gas seems to have finally subsided - which ROCKS!! I am about to go on my first "field trip" = to Whole Foods to get some liquid stevia and check out their selection of Protein powders & shakes. Whoo Hoo! :P Hopefully that will go smoothly...

So glad you seem to be feeling better too! My first post-op check-up is next Thursday the 28th. I'm excited to see what the scale says then. (I have my own scale - and it seems to be going down - but I don't totally tust it I guess... LOL) Keep up the good work!

      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?
