Okay, so I was banded on October 10th.

Came home yesterday around 3pm.

Got twenty minutes of sleep last night.

But otherwise the pain has only been by my large incision. Which is more to my left side.

I'be been drinking apple juice and Water.

Was wondering if peppermint tea or raspberry tea was allowed just yet.

I drank peppermint tea right away, suppose to help with the gas........not sure, but was willing to try anything.

Thank you, I have been dying for a cup of tea. Plus I've heard it is supposed to loosen things up .

I was told no caffine, I could have any liquid that was caffine free. So go for it.

You stayed overnight? (I hope that question isn't too personal) My doctor told me mine is outpatient unless something unexpected happened. I was relieved since i'm a cash patient.

Yes. I did stay over night. Insurance covered it. As well as my mother working in my hospital. So I was able to stay over night. Plus it mandatory. I had surgery early Wednesday. And then Thursday morning, I had to go for an esophogram.

      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?
