Hubby Can Only Take 1 Day Off Work!



Recommended Posts

I sent my husband to work directly after surgery. I also went for a 1k walk same day with my kids ( I just wanted to make sure the gas was moving). You may be better than you think.

I agree that the day after would be better as well. I want to respond to radarluv, though, as to why people stay overnight. I had to stay overnight because of my sleep apnea - they wanted to make sure the anesthetic didn't depress my breathing too much.

Ok, now I see. :) Thanks, and that makes sense. It was such an easy surgery, and I have had a lot! I wasn't sure why the heck one would want or need to stay, but yes, that seems logical. I don't have sleep apnea, so I was not aware.

I needed my husband when I got home. I went home day of and really needed the help and moral support. He was with me at the hospital too and he was able to help me when they made me walk around. However, the nurses could probably help you do that.

The day after is good. He can help you and motivate your walking to get rid of any gas pains. Best wishes

      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?
