New to forum: Sleeved on 9/21



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I am a newbie here, but I wanted to drop a line to introduce myself.

I was just sleeved this Monday, and so far so good. I am surprised how good I am feeling, and I am not having much pain at all. Just a little bit of pulling around a couple of the port areas.

I am looking forward to getting to meet and chat with some of you!

Welcome to a wonderful site! I was also sleeved on Monday 9/21. I am doing well -- had a little trouble getting it all the fluids on Day 3 but it is getting easier everyday.

getting in the fluids is fun. I have done pretty well with it so far. I just have to keep reminding myself to sip, sip, sip!

I am glad to be on the losing path with you!

Just keep trying to sip regularly, and you will notice that it does get easier.

Welcome to the family MDGibbs. Day 2 post-op was my worst day - but it wasn't totally awful. Everyday after that just gets better and better.

You are doing great. You are a bit ahead of me, but you give me inspiration. My sleeve on 02/20/2010. I'm early to this process, and adjusting to the sleeve. Keep us informed and share tips on how to ajust. Thanks.

      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?
