Recommended Posts

I was ignorant to how the pain would be after . they are keeping me a second night due to nausea and pain . Just started on Clear Liquids finally. A day and half of ice chips not fun. Any suggestions. I have been trying to walk to help with pain. But at this point I'm like ... WhAT DID I DO !!!! :(

So sorry that you're having a difficult time. But I assure you......it WILL pass!

Are they giving you anything for the pain? I had Lortab (liquid Vicodin) and it saved me. Walking is excellent, but sometimes in the beginning you need the pain meds.

I hope you feel better soon. Please don't doubt your decision to have this surgery. You've just had a major assault to your body, and it's going to take time to heal. I know it's hard, but in a few days things will look and feel very different. In the beginning, it's a roller coaster ride..... But things do settle down, and I think you'll be jumping for joy when you see the numbers on the scale dropping. Try & keep your eye on the big picture :)

      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.
