Prissy I know the first week is really hard and emotional I broke down and cried I was tired and had no energy and I'm use to being on the go but I'm going into week three now and I'm my normal self again wait till u can eat mushies it gets so much better. Chin up ur in my prayers! :-)

I finally had my emotional breakdown yesterday 5days post op. I cried and cried until i couldnt breathe a single breath out of my nostrils lol. Good thing is my hubby was there to help cheer me up. I can honestly say yesterday was not one of my good days. Today seems a lot brighter. Im glad to know im not the only one who has broken down. Im also glad to hear your doing better and that hopefully in the next couple of weeks i will start feeling normal again!

Had my breakdown today when my drain fell out and the Dr had me go to hospital. I just kept thinking, "I did this to myself!" We all mourn the old us as we trust we have made a good decision. It doesn't help that I sit herd all by myself all day. All this time alone to think is dangerous. Hugs to you all on this journey. Lol. Maybe thats why they give us so much pain killer-even tho no pain we can dull the crazy in our brain!

      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?
