I was banded at 7 this morning. Have some pretty wicked heartburn. My right shoulder hurts, but not bad. The stitches- not bad at all- sore but doable. I've crossed over!!!

Things are still going good for me so far! No shoulder pain yet and had my first Protein shake (after surgery) today. I'm keeping up on my pain meds and am happy to report I am passing gas ~ my family doesn't care as much for that part!

The toughest part for me so far was the sore throat yesterday, I'm waiting to see if I still get any more of the post op pains. I don't have stitches or steristrips, they used dermabond but I still can't take a shower until tomorrow.

I think every doctor is a little different. I think it is best to stick with your own doctors requirements, that way if there are any issues you have complied with their rules and it helps them to know where to start looking.

      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.
