Just be careful because I felt lousy on day 5 and then day 6 felt like my old self. So I went out and walked my dog and went to the grocery store ad then to the mall and boy did I pay for it. I was exhausted and my incisions hurt. I then had a job interview the next day and after it I came home and slept for like 3 hours. 3 weeks later I still get tired ad sore if I do too much. Hope you don't experience this, but just wanted to let you know.

I was very compacted and constipated after surgery, actually hadn't gone in 5 days so I did Miralax and then drank a half bottle of Mag. Citrate and then stool softner and after all of that, my bowels moved and have been moving ever since. Guess it took all of that to get them started from surgery and pain meds. As far as gas I take gas x and still do. Hope this helps. good luck

yes I'm taking it easy, my mom is helping me a lot. She went to the grocery for me yesterday even though I wanted to go we both thought it would be too much on me. Thanks for letting me know of your experiences.

      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?
