I'm not feeling nearly as bad as I had expected.

I'm getting up and down from sitting and lying, albeit somewhat gingerly, with some pretty aggressive pain management. I'll liable start rolling out of the prescription stuff tomorrow midday.

Had some Jello, a couple Glucerna shakes, some Gatorade, and lots of Water today.

All the body functions seem to be behaving.

My dressings come off tomorrow, and I'll Celebrate with a shower, some cocktails, and a little knosh...well, maybe not the latter two.

Not too shabby, so far, I'd say.

Thanks for the props, y'all.

My post surgery experiences were mostly soreness and some gas pain. I was off of the liquid pain meds the day I went home (about 30 hours after surgery.) It was better than I had expected. But, I couldn't lay on the side where the port was placed for a few weeks.

      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?
