5 days post op and I made it to work



Recommended Posts

Well, I made it to work this morning but not without a pain pill to get me to a comfortable stage to where I can sit for 8 hours at my desk. I had to place a small pillow on my stomach under my seat belt but that worked out ok for the 50 minute drive. I will be getting up and down several times during the day and going on small walks. Feeling pretty good all but the many hot flashes I am having. I guess that will go away after my body comes out of shock from the surgery. All in all, looking forward to what is to come!!! Not really minding the all Fluid liquid diet.< /p>

5 days post op and 10 lbs off already...wahoooooo

Congratulations for making it this far. It gives me hope, I start the pre-op diet tomorrow and I'm just going to grit my teeth and get through it. So it's good to hear from others who have been there. Good luck with the rest of your journey, and congrats on the weight loss also.

I could not do it if not for the pain pills kkua, I can tell they are wearing off. Sitting in a chair upright seems to be the most uncomfortable setting for me...wearing a bra after 5 days is VERY uncomforable also!

      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?
