I had my surgery yesterday morning and was supposed to go home today. They say I'm "borderline dehydrated" so I'll have to stay until tomorrow. That part confuses me though because I've been on nonstop fluids, drinking 1oz or more every 15 minutes, and my pee is practically clear! (sorry if tmi) my dad thinks they're milking the fact I've got two private insurances paying for all this. I just want to get home to my baby. How long were you in hospital??

I also had my surgery yesterday morning. I will be staying another night as well. The doctor said my heart rate was too high to go home. I hope you and I both get to go home tomorrow!

I was in and out in less than 24 hours, but I didn't have any complications. I was given the option to stay another night if i wanted to, but I also wanted to get home to my babies!! :)

I know it's hard to be away from your little one. But, it is also hard when you are home because you will really want to pick them up - but you can't!

A healthy mom is coming soon! Congrats on your sleeve!

48 hours for me. I was hooked up to an IV for 47 1/2 hrs of that. Guess they do things differently in Mexico.

I was in 2 nights. I had issues with pain control. I think it was finally under control as, when the doctor came in to see me about 7:30 pm on Wednesday, I was 100% convinced it was Thursday morning. He told me I was staying the night (my 2nd night) again. I had planned to anyway due to pain issues but my drugged up state secured that. :-)

      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?
