Well The one thing I can tell you is after the surgery is over the nurses will try to get you to drink Water and walk, even though you may not feel like walking.....PUSH yourself I cried when they told me I couldnt go home until I could move around, so I got up and walked up and down that hallway and it did relieve alot of the gas pressure I felt! so thats the 1 piece of advice I can give you! I was banded on August 3 and I weighed 315lbs and now I weigh 255!! Good luck! its an amazing Journey,I suggest everyone keep a journal....

      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?
