Today I am 5 days post-op and it feels like I'm on cloud 9. ;) I am going through and reading all the threads and seeing such great ideas!! Last Monday I flew home to Texas. I miss my support system!! So I thought I'd join in here. :) The weather is REALLY affecting my recovery!! It seems when I get hot I get sick instantly. :/ I am going to add in more exercise as soon as I get these stitches healed to help speed things up. ;)

YaHoo texas, Yippe Ka Yea ;) Don't think i said the 2nd part right :unsure: but you know what i mean.

Glad you are joining us. The more the merrier. I'm sureothers will be saying hi :rolleyes:

Yes there are many different good threads and reading to be done. You will get support here, you can ask questions, give answeres, or just hang around with a glass of Water., remember no soda :angry:

5 days out and it sounds like you are taking care of yourself - good for you. Letting your body heal/wait til stiches are gone before you exercise. Rest, relax - before you attack the process, you had major surgery - remember you invaded your stomach, having major surgery.

Sorry the hot weather effects your health/making you sick etc.

In my case, i welcome the warm temperatures, especially hot weather - i drink my Water, a lot better. A lot. Reason being since i'm so hot I have to quench my thirst - so i drink more.

Stay on cloud 9 ;) You'll love the journey through sleeveland

Welcome

      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.
