Im glad to hear you're being taken care of! Part of what happened may have been due to a possible reaction to anesthesia; I've heard of that happening.

Keep remembering you chose to get healthy and are now taking whatever steps are necessary to accomplish that.

So glad you got help! When weird things happen it can be scary and one can feel totally alone. Some people simply give up at that point --- so Im glad you chose to move forward!

After all this settles down, you can get caught up in the excitement of the weight coming off, new recipes to try, new clothes, compliments, and feeling good! For now, just take good care and do what needs doing. Good times are just around the corner :)

I just don't see this ever happening for me, I really don't. its just so painful and it isn't easing up yes its only been a week and people heal differently but I am weak and cant take it. I just want to be better, I thought I was doing something good something that would help me and I feel like I got just the opposite.

I'm not saying this to be harsh or insensitive, I'm just being honest.

If you think the answer is to have another operation after only a week you're very mistaken. All that will do is add more incisions, more pain, and more trauma.

Talk to your doctor tomorrow and be very honest with him. I know it's hard right now but you really are going to have to calm and cope while you heal. Getting all worked up and taking an attitude of defeat is only going to make things harder and worse. We've all been through it and we all survived- and you will too.

      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?
