Back From Surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm hanging in there still groggy from anastasia. I'm not gonna lie its painful out feels as though someone punched my stomach really hard. I have the gas pain on my shoulder and back. Walking around to move it out. Dr. said my liver looks really good and healthy. But I have acid reflux so he sent me home with pepcid and liquid pain killer. I was vomiting at the hospital in but I feel much better now. I'm not hungry but have been drinking broth and Ice Water. I hope the others that had surgery today are doing well

      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?
