Wow, I am 3 days Post Op and I feel great. I am really amazed that I have had very few of the issues that some are reporting. The day of surgery I was a little sore. Day 2 I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach but no worse than that. I also went out for a walk. Today the only residual pain I have is from one of the surgery slits and that just feels like a typical cut.

I am very happy with my early surgery results. I am down 20 pounds thanks to the Pre-Op diet. (I started at 335 and the day of surgery I was 315.) I am looking forward to my first follow-up with my doctor and look forward to the fill process.

As for Post-Op drinks and such I haven't had any issues keeping things down or getting my Protein shakes down. I am looking forward to mushy foods... Bring it on!

Much success to everyone on this journey.

Congrats to both of you! Way to go with the good attitude!!! I'm a week post-op today and still having a lot of tenderness in my tummy, but feeling much better every day.

Best of luck!

I too had anticipated a lot of pain, after reading for the past 6 or months, my pain never went above a 2/10! Very happy with everything so far! Good luck to you

      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?
