Try thinking about how not to get dehydration. Make sure you spend your days sipping your Water. I used a med cup (one ounce cup) and kept my water bottle nearby. Fill up a glass with Water and pour into a smaller sip cup. Keep working on your fluids, have a sugar-free popsicle, more fluids. Keep the water at your bed stand at night and each time you wake up have a few ounces of water. I used to get up 3 times at night to potty, and each time I would pour myself 3 medicine cups of water before I got into bed. I got up in the morning and I started back on my water.

Do your best, if water gets rough try some decaff peppermint tea (which is refreshing warm or cold) with your favorite artificial sweetener and it sooths the belly.

Remember something since you are newly sleeved. You may feel like you get hungry a lot (your tummy goes in waves, or knots and grumbles. That is often a sign of acid, gas or it could be something as simple as your stomach having healing pains (like the pain you get from cutting your finger) it happens in your tummy too. A lot of people consider it constant hunger. Unfortunately, being hungry, full, acid, gas & healing all feel about the same.

Good luck, sip, walk and rest ;) Welcome to the losers bench.

      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.
