So I'm about 10 hours out of surgery. Feeling good. I got all staples no stitches only hurts when I get up and use my stomach muscles. I only took 5ml of pain meds they recommended 10ml. Did 20 min of walking 1/2 mile, did good. The only pain I have is between my shoulder blades and moving into my chest it's from the gas. My walk helped get some out. :-) starting weight today 4/26/13 is 314 lbs my goal is to get down to 130!

Good luck. The gas was the only real pain I had. A heating pad helps

      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.
