Good luck with surgery!!! Ask your doctor what he recommends if u experience gas pains...I'm 3 days post op and have been quite miserable today...bloated and gas pains. My incisional pain is tolerable....only a little sore with certain movements.... I would've like to have been better warned/prepared for gas pains.... Good luck!!!!

I agree on the gas pains..it made me miserable. I used a heating pad and icy hot and over the counter gas relief chewable tablets and they worked better then the pain meds! Of course ask ur dr about taking ovc meds before u use them. U will do great! Good luck!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. My journey starts 10/1 as well. I have an afternoon appointment, wish I was in the morning. I would rather wake up, get to the hospital and get it done early. When is your appointment?

Best of luck to you and the girl having the operation 10/2. It is the best decision of my life. It is a tool that gives us back our lives.... But we must work it and use it as a tool... It's not magic.

Best wishes

Thank you all! I'm scheduled early in the morning! Just like Skisyd, I also cannot sleep. I'm just having last minute jitters. :(

      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?
