Is that gas killing you yet??

When I got home after surgery I stood in the bathroom mirror for about 20 minutes saying to myself "What did I do" My shoulder and back were killing me fro the gas. They kept telling me to walk ...but even hurt to walk!

Thank you all I had the surgeon in the state it was so quick I didn't even think I got banded. lol but the gas x works really well and take a inflammatory and some like prevacid too slow form gastric juices and u will be fine. The funny thing is u work up and asked when was I going to surgery and they said you where in recovery I almost feel out the bed.

      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.
