When Do You Start To Feel.....



Recommended Posts

So I was banded on Monday October 29th with a hernia repair , I am feeling so tired and what did I do to myself talks......so when do guys start feeling "normal or a new normal"and yeah me???

Cause its not here right now. I am finding it hard to get down protien drinks a 1/4 cup and it makes me feel so full. Also having diarhea and just feeling like a rag. I am on clear fluids until friday and saturday start full fliuds however Im not even excited cause I feel so full from just sipping on clear. My incisions are not sore just feels like I did a lot of situps but the darn gas!!!! ugh if it wasnt for the gas and I am walking. Sorry for the rant just frustrated and a little jealous of the people that sail through this :unsure:

Check with Dr, but I was able to take Imodium for diarrhea. Only took one tab and they make it in chewable.< /p>

You're only four days out from major surgery, you're supposed to feel bad. My WORST day was the seventh day post-op. Then it just got better from there.

I had a hard time too so don't feel bad. I felt like I was beat up and had no energy. I finally felt like myself a week later. But was okay about 5 days after. Just take it easy and don't feel bad about how you feel.

      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?
