Well, I've managed to catch a hideous throat infection which has been making me feel crappy for the last 4 days, however its taken a whole new direction today, and I've felt foamy and sick all day, with my stomach feeling really off key.

Basically I'm wondering if post sleeve we are more prone to infections sprading to our stomachs?

:( Typical, its my birthday tomorrow, and I'm booked into a spa, I can't afford to be ill now! :(

So sad your feeling rotten! There was a nasty flu going through California last month, it seemed to hit everyone, started in the throat... sometimes went into the lungs and even the tummy for some. I had it for 3 weeks before I felt better. Luckily, the tummy was spared. Happy birthday, how you feel better soon...

You are still healing from surgery and your tummy is much more delicate now that it will be in a few months. I'm 9.5 months out and I haven't noticed any tendency to catching things easier.

Hope you feel better soon!

I have had a sore throat for 4 days now. Yuck! It is driving me crazy! I went to the doc and he said it was an URI (cold). He gave me some cough Syrup to help with sleeping. I just want the sore throat to go away. Enough is enough! ;)

      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?
