I don't know you but I could hear the fear through your post. You are brave to do what you did and keep hanging in there b/c you are halfway there. Like others have said, everyone is different. Do your best to remain calm and let the doctors just analyze what is happening. I truly believe that you are going to be ok. I will pray for you and for peace of mind. I know I can get so anxious sometimes and start to panic. One day I will be where you are and I hope that I can remember to tell myself this same advice!! I know it will be ok. You are going to do great!! Just rest and believe that with every second that goes by you are getting closer to total healing!

I'm sorry that your having a rough go of it but I'm glad that your leak tests have shown no problem there. It probably is a reaction to the anesthesia. My surgeon kept me in hospital 5 days. I get that your anxious to feel better and go home. You'll be there soon. And each day will bring a little more healing. I too will say a prayer for you Anna.

I had nausea in the hospital also. I kept throwing up old blood and maybe medication. It seemed like I was going to throw up until every little speck of it was out. I realized this and started not taking the nausea medicine b/c I wanted to get it out of my system. That worked for me. I was in the hospital 3 days and I felt horrible and was totally out of it and kinda scared what have I done, etc. But hang in there, once they tell you to take a shower and go home you will probably rise to the occasion and feel better.

      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?
