Wish I could figure out and differentiate all these new sensations I have. Pressure, tightness, burning....all that come and go. Sometimes related to eating, sometimes two hours later. Sometimes when I change positions. I'm POD 6 and I find I'm feeling tighter and feel like drinking less. Frustrated. I see the NP tomorrow morning.

Just follow the guidelines your doctor gave u and sip small amoiunts of Water as often as u can, good luck with the appointment and write down what u need to ask.. i am sure it will all be ok :)

I just realised that POD 6 is post op day 6 ? if so what are u eating ? surely u are on liquids at the moment :)

I am on full liquids until Friday. Even small sips feel like a challenge sometimes.

She thinks most of what I am feeling is heartburn. Gave me a script which I should have received in the hospital. They are advancing my diet to pureed. No worries on their end. In fact, I woke up feeling a lot better this morning.

      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.
