Hello, first off everyone is different and lose weight in different amounts, some folks lose more in the first 2 weeks, some lose less. . . you'll see at your first doctors visit. Is it painful? Well again, every body is different. . if you can tolerate pain or not is the question. . .for example I was up and walking those hallways 6 hours after the surgery, yeah i felt like a bus hit me, but i also knew that if i don't get my fat butt out of that bed i'd feel much much worse. . . so walking is very important early in. . .and take your pain meds. . . don't be a hero that way. . . i took it really easy, i don't like my job much , so i took 2 1/2 weeks to recoup. . . it was really really nice to have done that. . . plus by then you've lost some weight and your co workers actually notice! but seriously now, make sure you get up and walk after surgery, helps with gas pains and the healing process. . . also sip sip sip. . . you won't feel like it, but DO IT! you'll feel much better. . . good luck and your going to do great! Your on your way to thinness! YIPPEEEEEEE

Sorry that made me giggle :)

As for pain, I would say uncomfortable is more of the word most use. It is just an odd feeling of gasy bloatedness.

      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.
