i was banded on the 3rd did really well week i was at home..had some problems adjusting this week re; desk job, trying to take fluids to quickly and yesterday and today i had really sharp stabbing like pain in the left shoulder..could be the residual anesthesia gas hitting my phrenic nerve only advil helps that..not walking not gas x strips. However dietitian encouraged me to go back to Clear Liquids rest of today only and pain has not come back..yippee! the itching i have is from incisions healing and tightening as they do..my port is on the right they tell me as my steristrips insist on staying on! I was told by a dietitian a great cookbook is Bandwagon Cookery i checked it out on Amazon and it looks pretty good with good reviews. I hope all of you get to feeling better..oh, and yes, i have bm's..just smaller. :) deb

      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?
