My surgery was yesterday, and all things considered I'm doing fantastic! I, unfortunately, had a horrible case of nausea and dizzy spells. 2/4 times they had me get up I fainted. On the bright side my pain level is fantastic! I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to handle it. I was such a wuss after my gall bladder surgery. My nursing staff here have been absolutely amazing.

Has anyone else received a pillow from the hospital that allow your visitors and staff to sign while you are here and then take it home?? I was pleasantly surprised and thought it was a great idea!

I am also a breast feeding mom and everyone, including my surgeon, have been a great help allowing me to still nurse and making sure I wasn't having any problems. I must say this has been the most pleasant experience I could have imagined and I'm not going to deny it has made me a little emotional. It has also helped coming on here throughout the night seeing that not ye only one that has gone through some of the things I experienced in the past 24 hours and it has helped me a lot. So a big thank you!!

      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?
