5 Days Post Op...



Recommended Posts

Well, I was sleeved on the 19th of Oct. They let me come home on the 21th. They had to take my gall bladder while they were in there so I do not have to worry about that now. They removed the drain the day of release. Was not bad. Just need to continue getting in the fluids small sips at a time. Too fast and it will let you know. I am sure that is will get better in the coming days. Insidse am sure are swollen and will take time to get back to some kind of normal status..What ever that is. Tomorrow I will start with the walking plan. Did not want to jump the gun to fast but I am ready. Don't go back to work till next week so gotta start getting stronger. Thanks for all the support from this forum. Will keep checking in and posting my successes.. Move over on that bench I am on my way...

      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?
