Make sure you take your pain medication at the smallest time intervals to keep the pain at bay.

By 4 days post-op, all of my troublesome pain was resolved. I only took the prescription 1 time, and spent 2 days taking Tylenol. By day 4, no pain meds were necessary at all!

You will feel better every day!

I had to take the apin meds right on schedule for the first 3-4 days, then things began to subside. It took about a week for me to be able to sleep on my stomach again, aaahahhhhhhhh that was a relief! I have never been able to sleep on my back. hang in there, it will get better

      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.
